[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It always follows the school system. MCPS schools have declined significantly last 10 years or so. You can thank your county politicians.[/quote] Fairfax resident here, so no dog in this fight. I could be wrong, but that seems like a huge overstatement. We have tons of friends in MoCo, and they pretty much all sing the praises of their neighborhood elementary schools. And even if all those "W" schools have dropped, they're still some of the best high schools in the whole area. We have school issues in FCPS, and there were issues when we lived in APS too. Even if folks weren't as happy with MCPS, where exactly would they move to? Especially in MD, where you don't have nearly as many choices if you want to keep the commute under an hour.[/quote] Hmmm, my sister lives in Bethesda and constantly tells me how disappointed she has become with the number of children in her neighborhood that now attend privates. Private school enrollment is definitely up among MCPS parents, just check all the threads on this board in the last couple of weeks discussing, schools, open houses, admissions, etc.[/quote] Yup, that's why so many MCPS schools in Bethesda are overcrowded. Wait, what? [/quote] Which is why so MANY of my sister's neighbors are now in private, as evidenced during the complaints about overcrowding and options on this board. You can keep living in denial, but things have changed, maybe not for your version of a quality education, but for many others it has, whether you except it or not. Doesn't change the fact that when someone lives in a close in Bethesda neighborhood and every child on her block, as well as the two surrounding blocks all of a sudden are in private, that something is up. One neighbor on her street particularly shocked all of us as she was the "private schools are evil" person forever and now her two kids are at Bullis. WTH? She drives 40 mins away every morning and her public school is amazing? I think not.[/quote]
