[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how people with very young children, or no children at all, worry about the character of a HS their (sometimes imaginary) children will enter perhaps 15 years down the road. That school may be completely changed, and the school that everyone touts as family-friendly with a wonderful principal may have gone to the dogs.[/quote] I'm with you PP. When we were looking to buy our current home two years ago, I was pregnant and I insisted on being a school district with the best high schools. My co-worker asked me the same question you asked above and I thought, you know what, that is so true. So, we bought in the Einstein district in an area with a good elementary school and we couldn't be happier with the neighborhood. Our mortgage is really reasonable and I love our house--we were able to afford so much more here than in Bethesda. Will we be here until our kids hit high school? Who knows! I would like to get a bigger house eventually so I'm sure we will move in the next 15 years. Will we stay in this school district? I have no idea but I can tell you that based on what I see at Einstein (and I live a stone's throw away so I see a lot), I would have no problems with my kids going there. And I suspect it will only keep getting better. But if it declines over the next 10 years, we'll figure it out then. [/quote]
