[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kensington is lovely but Einstein is a real problem.

We looked at Kensington a few years ago and were advised to stay within the BCC cluster. We did look at a house that was zoned for Einstein and spent time walking around the neighborhood talking to whomever was out. Everyone we talked to who had kids or knew their neighbors with kids went to private school .It was striking how different it was from the BCC area. For us, part of the draw for public school is kids being friends with neighborhood kids, going to school together and growing up together. The other thing that we found out about Einstein is that many of the smartest students go for the magnets and special programs at other schools for high school. If your kid is friends with other very smart kids, they'll lose their friend base going into high school. We didn't want that situation and didn't want the stress of having to rely on getting into a magnet or paying for private school for high school. [/quote]

Just to note again, much of Kensington is zoned for WJ and some for BCC as well.[/quote]

I thought most of Kensington went to Einstein?[/quote]

No one knows what "Kensington" is.  There is an actual Town of Kensington, but that covers only part of the area that is served by the Kensington Post Office which therefore receives mail addressed to Kensington, MD 20895.  The Town of Kensington is in WJ and has trash collected twice a week instead of once and gets special parking permits for the MARC station and has a Mayor and Town Council and a Labor Day Parade.  The regular unincorporated parts of Montgomery County that receive mail addressed to Kensington, MD 20895 include homes districted to WJ, BCC and Einstein.  [/quote]
