What you get with MCPS is a free ride in a neighborhoodish school. What you don’t get with MCPS is general school safety (fights, drug dealing and drug taking in school are tolerated daily and not punishable thanks to restorative justice) a quality education (equity means dumbing down top students instead of bringing up the bottom students to the top) supports for those who need it (whether it is for the brilliant & gifted or those with learning disabilities although ESOL seems to be better supported) clean safe usable bathrooms and hallways, quiet classes where kids can focus (phones are out, tik toks being recorded teachers being ignored and disrespected during class.) It’s a little like the Wild West But if all of those things don’t bother you, then you’ll be fine. Howard County or schools in VA might be different and worth looking into if any of this bothers you. If you don’t expect much from MCPS you won’t be disappointed. If you want more for your kids then you will disappointed.
WRONG
Go back to your bible thumping hole.
By the way there is a reason it is called PUBLIC SCHOOL!
My children went to MIT, CMU, Stanford, Yale all from MCPS in recent years so screw off with your utter crap.
