Beautifully! STEM major. 2024 MCPS grad and can graduate December 2026.

Thanks MC2!

Can, but will?

Why throw away a gift of 4 years of public university education?

Four years aren’t needed thanks to MC2.

Looking at going directly to grad school. An advanced degree is a must in the field. Career can’t start until after grad school.

There’s no economic incentive to taking unneeded undergrad courses and a fair amount of economic incentive to starting a career 1-1.5 years earlier.

Yeah, you're just two years less educated.

I think you don’t understand how undergrad STEM majors work.

Any kid I know from MCPS did great.

How is this even a question?

Stop with the everyone gets an A crap it's not true.

What is true is MCPS is a large diverse population and plenty of kids graduate with A's, B's, etc some even don't graduate. All of that has more to do with parents than the schools.

The mcps booster has arrived. The question asks how does/did YOUR kid who attended a mcps do when they are/were at UMD

DP. .my kid got straight As at a magnet HS, now a dual STEM major, 3rd year, senior thanks to a butt load of Aps, and getting straight As there, too. And they got some great internships.

50% of MCPS grads end up back at Montgomery College

This happened to my kid. We are upper middle class. Kid was a top student at MCPS who used every leniency granted. Kid found other classmates at MC so there might be some truth to this.
