[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of the day, if you ask most people whether they would pick Bethesda/Whitman or Potomac/Wootton over Rockville/RM, they would. [/quote]
Duh.  As noted earlier, the Ws are bubbles that don't zone in poor folks, whereas RM draws in a more diverse crowd.  That doesn't change the fact that parts of RM are very upper class, and about as far as you can get from "hood".

If you take schools out of the equation, I'd much rather live in parts of RM than anywhere in Wootton for example .  But alas, schools are part of the equation.[/quote]

I would choose RM over Whitman ANY  DAY! I wold choose RM over Wootton also. I prefer WJ to all of them. [/quote]
I am curious about why you would prefer WJ over Whitman. thanks[/quote]

It's more balanced. It is really hard to describe in a post on a website. If you have never lived there it is hard to describe. If you live there and love it then you love that lifestyle and should stay. But we are from a family that does lots of service work and we live below ort means and to live in the complete oposite world was hard for us. We got out and never looked back.

No school is without issues so WJ is not perfect either. (Nor is RM) but it comes down to family, values, personal preference and what you can afford. It does not come down to test scores and college placement. My kids will get into schools based on their grandfather not their test scores and people that don't know that or admit it are fooling themselves. Of course their college placement will be used to advertise for their school and club sports team.

Visit RM, go to the local stores, hang out at Rockville library, then at twinbrook library, check out the neighborhood, go to the community center, talk to the community police, talk to people that live there. But for goodness sakes don't judge it on rankings that have been manipulated 100 different ways.
