[quote=Anonymous]Former Bay Area resident here.. I just re-read OP's post.. you have two ES kids.

A friend of mine from that area was telling me last year that many of the schools are underenrolled in that area, Saratoga, Campbell, etc... Don't know if Cupertino is like this, too, but word of warning.. MANY of MCPS schools are actually over crowded.  The least over crowded cluster is Wootton, and it does skew heavily Asian American, which Cupertino does, too.

IMO, the Wootton (Rockville/N. Potomac) cluster is most similar to Cupertino cluster in terms of demographics and culture, especially the schools.  But, it is very possible that in the near future (5 year?), there will be some redrawing of school boundaries so Wootton cluster may look a bit different than now, good or bad.

But here's the best part... MCPS is way better funded than CA schools.  You won't have to "donate" much to your local schools here, other than the few PTA drives, but nothing like the annual "donation" for  things like PE and art like they do in CA (we "donated" a few thousand when we were in the Bay Area).[/quote]
