This is not a popular opinion in this sub, but pay attention to the school district and you'll be fine. Also keep in mind that the Howard County Public Schools are building a new High School and have a "proposed" redistricting map carved out already. They're soliciting comment but the current board will ignore any protests or any comments that aren't in favor of their proposal.

The new HS opens in fall of 2023 I thought. Either way, I am grateful to be done with the Hoco School saga.

So we are supposed to be upset that Howard County built a new high school? Isn’t this supposed to be a good thing?

You do you.

My comment was intended to be focused on the process rather than yours or others emotion.

We just went through a redistricting and above anything else, the process was extremely flawed, where many felt that their voices haven't been heard.

The entire school system is way over capacity. We elect folks who take bribes from developers. By the time that school opens, it will be at 130% capacity and if your kids are lucky they can spend hours on a bus each day traveling to any random school.

I would say if you care about schools look at Anne Arundel or Carroll. Avoid HOCO.
