[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People get way, way too caught up in school ratings. Pick a place you like, and then provide support and enrichment opportunities to your kid. [/quote]

I agree with this.  OP, beyond high school ratings, what are you looking for in terms of community, housing, commute, etc?  Schools are important but I think there are more factors to consider and perhaps we can help give you a better feel for each of the communities within the two clusters.[/quote]

OP here. We are looking for a community similar to ours in Rockville--easy access to metro, good walking/biking trails, many working families, ability to commute up or down county relatively easily. But we don't love the layout of our house--we are in a classic Rockville split level with no larger space for our kids to hang out or run around. We have a large yard but it's on a hill. We don't have a garage.  It would be nice to live in a community that is a bit more cohesive with more kids playing together, a central playground/park/pool, etc.

Can you define easy access to metro? Does that mean 10 minutes walking? Or is it ok to be a 15-minute bus ride with a 5-minute walk to the bus?[/quote]
