Yup. I was reading through this thread, came across that, and thought the same thing. The only area where PG is higher is the middle rank(proficient)....they have more students in the lowest rank (basic)and less in the highest(advanced). |

there is really no such thing as a 'nice' part of PG county. Bowie is the closest thing to live-able.
keep in mind, PG county just implemented a new motto: Welcome to (City Name -- ex. College Park, Greenbelt, etc), A Liveable community.

i love that motto...
what a great motto! really setting the bar high there. It's basically saying "we're not great, not even good, but you can continue to breathe and have a pulse here" I think Bush should steal it and offer it as the new motto of Baghdad.

I agree with some statements but disagree with alot. I live in Fort Washington and I've live here for bout 15 years. Not too far outside of Fort Washington are some bad areas but you are forgetting. Clinton isn't bad. Camp Springs and of course Fort Washington. I'm black btw I went to Central High School. Which was a dirty ghetto high school when I went there. Their aren't any nice schools in the area but their are some nice areas. Personally I don't think Forestville or Suitland are one. Some of Temple Hills are nice. I would agree Bowie and some other areas of course are nice. It depends on what you are looking for. Someone without kids that need to go to school can find alot of nice areas to live in PG you just have to research the area.

The reason why alot of people on this forum donot like PG county is because the area is majority African American.
I drive to Suitland and Forestville all the time and Anti-Blacks opinions.
I live in Upper Marlboro which is about 10mins away from Forestville and I am not scared of low income families. As you can tell aot of people on this forum are scared of lower income families but they forget they too can be any of those low income families at any time.
