[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately I am househunting in this market. I am orginally from the area but not familiar with the current schools situation in Gaithersburg.  I have elementary schools kids but would like to stay in an area until Highschool. What is the school situation in Gaithersburg? I looked at a house zoned for Magruder and Gaithersburg High.

Any insights are appreciated. [/quote]

[b]All MCPS schools are pretty much the same.[/b] They have the same pool of teachers and even the same curriculum. Yes, there are minor demographic differences that affect bulk test score averages but this isn't as important as some people might have you believe. In the end the same kid will get the same education at any MCPS school.[/quote]

This lie gets repeated over and over on DCUM (not sure why) but it is not true at all.  I’ve had kids at various schools and it’s not been our experience.  Some schools seem to hold the kids more accountable for their work, teachers offer better feedback.  And some schools take a much more lax approach.

Also, ‘minor demographic differences’?  That is obviously a lie, otherwise people wouldn’t have been pushing for diversity busing and boundary changes in the name of equity.  There are some schools that are vastly different from others when you looks at demographics.  [/quote]
