[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in the city and are exploring neighborhoods in Maryland to move to with our Elementary age kids. Takoma Park is very high on my list.

One issue I can't get past though, is how far away Montgomery Blair is. It's outside the beltway! Is that where most high schoolers go to school? Does it get annoying to have to drive so far every day, for activities, etc? I was hoping to live somewhere where the local schools are really a part of the community, but I'm afraid it will feel disconnected in TP. What has your experience been?

Thanks so much! I'd also love any other points of view on TP, but this is the issue weighing most on my mind. [/quote]

Do yourself a favor and live outside the actual city of Takoma Park - you'll save a lot of money by not duplicating tax payment to the City of Takoma Park when you get the same service from Montgomery County. Look at the school catchment areas for the schools you want. You might not need to live in the actual city of Takoma Park.[/quote]

Remember that you get a higher chance of being inthe TPMS magnet because the seats reserved for the catchment are disproportionately large in relation to the in-catchment student population when compared with the seats afforded to the rest of the TPMS magnet service area.[/quote]
