[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids who have progressed through elementary, middle, and high schools in the DCC, and I'm seeing much less of the "run for the hills" mentality once the kids hit middle school than in the past. I'm not sure if it's for economic reasons, that the schools in the area are on an upswing (and many are), that Silver Spring is becoming more "hip", or people are becoming less fearful of those who are different than them, or another reason entirely. Whatever the reason, I'm glad I see people staying as their children get older and go on to high school. I love my house, my neighborhood, my friends and neighbors, and my kids' Silver Spring schools. They are getting a great education and have tons of opportunities. I don't see myself as sacrificing their education one bit. I would advise OP to pick the house you like in the neighborhood you like, and send your kids to the local school.[/quote]

Yes, much less "run for the hills".  It is funny - was talking to a neighbor and we commented on the number of kitchen remodels and additions going on - which tends to be a sign that the family is making it their "forever home."  Zoned for Einstein, have a child in HGC and while we may explore the MS magnets, not feeling like we have to start staging the house if our kids go to the local MS.  No worries about HS - very excited for the IB. [/quote]
