[quote=Anonymous]I would love to see PG schools improve.  However, with the constant budget cuts, it makes improving the system difficult except for a few school communities like (Tulip Grove and Whitehall).  Those two schools have substantial parental support which help the administators and teachers. Those two schools are high performing and can compete with the best of Maryland elementary schools.   Many of the other PG County schools suffer from lack of parental support, budget issues, and teacher turnover.  Why are so few PG schools ranked in the top 100?  Our kids are smart but somehow the schools are not equal.

Only 1 family in our South Bowie neighborhood is using the local public school and they told us to stay private if you can afford it.  All the other families with elementary school children are using private schools.  We are using private and hate the fact we pay $20,000 in taxes (two houses) and can't use our local public school.  The money spent on private school could be used to save for college if PG County schools were acceptable.

How can we make them better?  If you find out please let me know I would love to help.

Also, why is there only 1 outstanding charter school in PG County?  Can be get more choices in this area too?
