[quote=Anonymous]We were debating moving to MCPS or FCPS a few years back and I spent a lot of time on here and visiting schools.  My impression is that MCPS handles “gifted/talented” slightly worse than FCPS.  There are more spots, closer geographically, etc.  Of course some argue that the GT program in FCPS is watered down so it just serves lots of prepped/intelligent kids but isn’t serving the truly gifted.  This may or may not be true, but I think bc more parents can access this service, they complain less.  In MCPS, more parents especially in the wealthy areas, are left to the differentiation their home school teachers can provide.  Add to this the widespread hatred of 2.0 plus really crowded schools, and that adds up to a lot of vocal parent dissatisfaction.  FWIW, FCPS has very crowded classrooms as well.  We went private in DMV and have moved out of the area and the public schools are smaller and really great.  The average family is FCPS and MCPS is very well educated and the school district stats reflect the parents’ will for their kids to do well more than what the schools themselves are doing.[/quote]
