[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are you working?  You do NOT want to have a commute on 270 south...no school choice is worth that hell.[/quote]

One parent in Bethesda, one parent in Baltimore with family/friends around Frederick and Rockville areas.

What about Howard County? [/quote]
One of you needs to get another job. Unless the one job has generous work from home policy[/quote]

:roll:

OP, another vote for Howard County. You’ll get commutes under an hour for both of you. Columbia was basically created for couples like you and has a lot of amenities. Less than/right around a half hour to Rockville and then about 40 minutes to Frederick on weekends. Easy hops into Baltimore and DC as well. The 270 commute is truly brutal.

As you figure out mortgage options, if that appeals, remember that HoCo’s jumbo threshold is lower than that for MoCo and Frederick County.

I was also thinking of Columbia. But school ratings are lower.  Atholton shows only 7, Oakdale 9 and Urbana 10

Who cares about GS ratings? There are schools in Hagerstown that are rated a 9/10, and it’s often because they have too little diversity to have an equity section. The thing dragging some of the MoCo and HoCo schools down is not their test scores, but their equity ratings. Their equity ratings play a larger role because MoCo and HoCo schools are more diverse than Frederick/Calvert/Carroll/Washington County schools on average. USNWR ranks RM higher than Oakdale and Linganore HS. The HoCo schools and RM have a much higher percentage of kids taking and passing AP exams. The Frederick schools are mostly ranked higher because they have extremely low diversity levels and can’t really have any equity ratings (Linganore and Oakdale), and because they have high PARCC scores. They don’t have the highest SAT scores or AP scores, and they hardly produce any NMSF.[/quote]
