[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I appreciate all of the input. Only folks who know both Silver Spring and Arlington will be able to answer this but is Silver Spring thought of as “similar” (in demographics and school quality) to south Arlington and Bethesda/Chevy Chase is thought of as similar to North Arlington (whiter, wealthier, schools with higher Great Schools ratings)?

[b]The schools matter to me A LOT, and as much as I’m skeptical of the Great Schools ratings, it’s all I have to go on.[/b] They are generally good for Silver Spring. Montgomery Blair and James Hubert Blake are both 6s. Einstein is a 5.[/quote]

OP, Great Schools ratings should not be "all you have to go on" if you are truly interested in what makes a good school for a given child.  You can do further investigation into e.g. the peer cohort at given schools (including what the data look like for them), special programs available, and what the local community is like.

It sounds like you don't want to consider that kind of information, though, so you'd best just find some housing in Bethesda or Chevy Chase and call it a day.[/quote]
I don’t think OP has expressed concerns about Silver Spring schools. Don’t let the rabid anti Silver Spring post get you confused.[/quote]
