I don’t believe this. I teach in MCPS and the best DCPS schools are definitely way better than the worst MCPS schools. 30-40 years ago it might have been different

Just curious, what do you consider the worst MCPS schools? One day I looked up my old high school, and I was shocked at how bad the scores were. Same with the feeder elementary and middle schools. These were never the tippy top best schools, but they were considered perfectly fine middle class schools when I attended. Now they appear to be failing.

I'm in MD and had the same thought.

For this recommending VA, which Arlington schools in particular?

You should head to the VA boards for this information.

Oh, really?

Let’s see…taking a random example…Wakefield High in Arlington…ranked #2786 in the US…School without Walls in DC…ranked #114 in the US…

Your wife is full of cr*p.
