We're moving and are trying to decide between a house zoned to Somerset and one zoned to BE. We have a list of comparisons between the homes and truly cannot decide just based on locations, commute, price, etc. So I'm trying to figure out if the difference in schools is significant enough to impact the decision.

Can anyone tell me about special programs, curriculum enrichment sponsored by the PTA, or other extras at the schools (artist in residence, garden, etc)? [/quote]

Really? If these are your criteria, I don't think MCPS is going to be quite what you're after. [/quote]

I don't see why-- my kid has had artists in residence programs pretty much every year that I can think of -- playwriting, opera, art, etc.

PP who bumped you may be able to visit the schools-- I definitely got a different vibe at the different ESs I visited, although in the end I don't think it would have made a difference in which house I bought.  If you promise to take it with an extra handful of salt, I will say that there are some posters who really seem to love Somerset.[/quote]

Which ES has artists in residence for subjects like opera and playwriting? Are you speaking of recognized artists brought in from outside the school community?[/quote]

if my kid wanted to take opera i would leave the school.  what a bore[/quote]

Yep, totally boring to create, act out and sing music.  Now worksheets, that's fun.[/quote]

i said opera all those other programs are available at every school.  [/quote]

Um, dear, that's what opera is.  Making and performing an opera.  Anyway, glad you're not interested -- more room for my kid![/quote]
