[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The curriculum doesn’t vary, but courses offered and how lessons are taught definitely does.

DCUM doesn’t understand the meaning of curriculum. [/quote]

This is incredibly vague. Sure, the same courses may be offered, but the content is vastly different. A couple of tutors teaching the same subject at different MCPS schools said they don’t cover the subjects my kid is tested on. They did not even have the knowledge to tutor these topics which are a significant part of the grade.[/quote]

I agree with you. DC struggled in honors bio so we hired a tutor. The tutor taught honors and AP at another MCPS HS and said our HS was teaching more deeply and moving more quickly through the curriculum. She said she didn’t cover quite a bit of the info taught in her own honors classes and some was actually part of the AP class she taught. My younger child has friends at other schools and said when tests come up as a topic during his club sport practice, he’s realized they aren’t always being tested to the same level of detail.
