[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  We're new to this area and live in Montgomery County right now.  I'd like to move DC into the Howard County school system.  One of the prior posters nailed it.  I'm doing this for the kid.  So given these responses, how bad is the commute from the Laurel/Maple Lawn area in terms of time and traffic?  How long would the MARC train take?  Also, any thoughts on the schools zoned for this area feeding into Atholton or Reservoir High?[/quote]

Atholton is great - the Wilde Lake Middle School is the only bad thing between Clemens Elementary and Atholton High School. Not sure what to tell you about that - won't sugar coat that it would be a good thing. But the Elementary and HS in that pyramid are solid.[/quote]

The homes in Riverside, Riverside Estates, and Holiday Hills (south of 32 and west of 29) are zoned to Lime Kiln and not Wild Lake Middle.  So, if the OP is looking into those neighborhoods she will have the Clemens Crossing, Lime Kiln, and Atholton feeder. Looking at homes south of 32 and west of 29 will eliminate being zoned to Wild Lake Middle.  The school boundary maps on the county's website shows the feeder patterns for the county.       [/quote]
