I was wanting advice on what are the best school districts in VA and MD with zip codes and names of schools - lower, middle, and high school please. My real estate broker recommended Bethesda Whitman school district but I was interested in finding out more about VA with people with school age children & other areas of MD. My one child would be going into pre-k. Thanks very much.
Let's see, what's missing (assuming you're not a troll trying to cause a shitstorm):
Location of your and your husband's jobs (and please, not just "Arlington" or "DC", but a specific area within "Arlington" or "DC", like "Rosslyn" or "Foggy Bottom".)
What sort of house you want (single-family, townhouse, condo), how old that house is, and if you want a SFH, how much of a yard you're going to want
Your budget
Your desire for a neighborhood -- miles of residential, highly walkable to parks/schools/libraries/restaurants, or what?
Your tolerance for a commute
Some schools -- such as Einstein (MD) and Stuart (VA) -- will have a higher group of low-achievers than say Whitman (MD) and Langley (VA). BUT, a high achiever at Stuart is comparable to a high achiever at Langley.
