[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were at a highly regarded MCPS but did not like it due to overcrowding issues primarily. We've since moved to DC and think our public here is WAY better than our MC one. The DC school is so much smaller, 2-3 sections per grade instead of 5-6. We've liked the teachers better and feel that there are more resources overall. I think that there's this perception that DCPS is sub par, so everyone heads for the suburbs, leading to huge overcrowding problems in the schools.  Meanwhile they've left some gems in their wake.[/quote]

I often wonder, if everyone is moving to MOCO for the schools, how is there *not* overcrowding?  I mean, unless they're opening a bunch of new schools, it seems like there is this huge migration to MOCO.  I can't imagine that the current schools can absorb all of that.

There is only overcrowding in the "best" schools. The trick is to find the "quite good but not best" schools. They are still reasonably sized because the stampede has not found them yet. We've found some in Silver Spring but I'm not naming names :)[/quote]

Aww come on, pretty please? ;)  Looking to buy a house in MoCo and likely SS but I have found the school search overwhelming. The best and worst are most obvious, but the majority in the middle are difficult to disentangle. [/quote]
