[quote=Anonymous]I don't live in Montgomery County, so you can take my advice with a grain of salt.  However, I have many co-workers and friends who do live in MoCo and I know many kids who attend schools there.

When you buy in MoCo you are paying a premium for the school district and proximity and commuting into DC.  There is a larger premium in the W school zones, but you are still paying a premium over other parts of MD to live there.  The non-W schools still have some good schools and your child will get a good education, but the non-W schools are not significantly better than other school districts where you are not paying the premium.  So you can get equivalent or better education for your child outside of MoCo for less money.

If proximity to your in-laws is important for your family, then you live near them.  But if you want a better bang for your buck, then you should consider good school zones in other counties because you getter a better bang for your buck.  Not saying that your child won't get a good education in non-W schools, but it's not different enough from other MD counties to warrant the higher property costs of living in MoCo.[/quote]
