I think that's right.

I def haven't heard any of the horror stories of some MoCo schools like rodents, water damage, mold, etc.

BUT, I do also believe that the special needs students may actually be better served in MoCo if the parents are able to actually navigate the system. It appears difficult and challenging to navigate. But worth it if you can.

But the regular student likely does have a better experience at the average FredCo school compared to MoCo.

Now, the exceptional student has better options at MoCo than FredCo. But tbh, for every exceptional student there are another 10 who THINK they are exceptional and make the environment toxic

My sister moved to Frederick from Montgomery County and the one thing that she keeps talking about is that there are so many more programs at the high school level at MCPS. You can pretty much walk in to any MCPS high school and find a good number of special academic programs that will cater to the specific interest of your child.
