[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With regard to the issues you raise, no, I don't think MCPS will be much different.

BUT I will also say there's an incredible amount of variability school by school and that not all MCPS schools are created equal.

So honestly, it depends on WHICH MCPS school you're transferring your son into and the unique makeup of the staff at that school and the posture of the administration team.

It's highly frustrating, because once upon a time, there was a standard of excellence that was perceived to be true of all MCPS schools, but these days, things have gotten off track for the reasons you outlined and the disparities have become even wider.

If it's comforting to you, I will say that you being engaged and vocal as a parent has a lot more impact on your child's success than the school he goes to. Excellent students come from bad or mediocre schools and bad students graduate from "good" schools all the time. Focus on your son and his needs and don't let perfect be the enemy of good. [/quote]

Yes, MCPS like any school system offers an education that is only as good as what you put into it. [/quote]
