[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had the opposite experience. [b]Left Howard because it's boring. [/b]Will never go back. Live in Moco now[/quote]

Boring how?  I'd take boring in a heartbeat.  We've had an uptick in break-ins on our street.  MCPS has a history of sexual assault incidents, especially in the past 5 years.  No thanks, I'd take a 'boring' school system any day.  [/quote]

It's just a lame place to live. Not talking about a school system.[/quote]
Ah, yes. Because nothing screams cool and hip like Rockville.[/quote]
DP... having looked at HoCo when we were moving to this area, yes, Rockville is a bit more hip than HoCo, but MoCo is made up of more than just Rockville.

HoCo is much more suburban than MoCo.  It's fine if that's what you want, but it's definitely much more staid than MoCo.

Also, I really think it's an unfair comparison -- HoCo is much smaller and has much fewer FARMs rate than MoCo. Larger school districts have larger issues, obviously, but smaller school districts have its own challenges, too. We moved from a smaller school district, and though they may be able to make changes faster, they don't have the critical mass to offer more interesting and challenging programs, nor do they have the budget to do so.

I think you can't go wrong with either school districts, but they are just different.

If you don't like  how MCPS is looking to rezone most of the school clusters, then you won't like HoCo because they are going through it now as well:
