[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you navigate the schools in PG? The homes are lovely and people are nice, but these schools are awful! We commute to GDS and its a terrible drive everyday. I would love to sell my house but it's underwater. What do people you know in similar circumstances do about this?[/quote]

There are a number of good schools within PGCPS, some you can easily recognize by their Great Schools ranking, but others are not as obvious because there's a poor summary score, but if you break down the data you find that children coming from education, married households are doing really well in the school and the PTA engagement is strong, lots of enrichment activities, etc. Whether you're willing to dig to find out more or just want an impressive single summary score depends on the person.

There are also affordable privates and parochial schools through out the county and numerous charter & specialty public options. We live in Mount Rainier and walkability factor and fantastic enrichment activities for children just blocks from our house is really outstanding. We used to live in Virginia and paid the same amount for a small 2 bedroom, terrible schools, and nothing other than a cupcake shop within walking distance for family outings. For families, the Gateway Arts district has a lot going for it. [/quote]
