[quote=Anonymous][quote]Seems like the OP has a few choices:

1) buy in Kensington and risk getting zoned for Woodward. Personally this would be fine with me but if you think you may need to sell the house again in a few years and are worried about a slight drop in value then I can understand your hesitation

2) stretch your budget and buy somewhere closer to WJ that is less likely to be reassigned.

3) just forget about this part of MoCo altogether and move to somewhere like Urbana. Yes longer commute but very high performing schools and less likely to change[/quote]

Churchill and areas close to Whitman seem pretty safe. MCPS would need to really go full on bussing and create weird islands where they bus kids away intentionally. I'm sure that MCPS would love to do something this stupid but hopefully this is less likely.

I'd also consider McLean. The big debate/controversy in Fairfax is that some wealthy kids previously zoned for McLean- a well ranked school- will now get to go to Langley-an even more well ranked school- because it is under enrolled. Not exactly a big risk and no where near as stressful as what is going on in MCPS. [/quote]
