[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The report asks a good question that it ultimately fails to answer. And to your point, it doesn’t even address all of the actual declines in the school system that have everyone asking the question: What Happened to MCPS?[/quote]

Because the answer to what happened is obvious, a district with a few very wealthy high schools and a lot of upper middle class and middle class schools has slowly accumulated ELL and FARMs students. Those kids don't test as well and don't have the same college out comes, so the district looks worse [/quote]

Demographic shifts are part of the issue but nowhere near the totality or even necessarily the most significant contributing factor to MCPS's decline.

There is an abundance of:

1. Failed and incompetent leadership at all levels of MCPS
2. Inconceivable silos between people and departments, which results in contradictory or conflicting information and guidance
3. An erosion of standards for academics and student behavior due to socio-political ideals and theories that are failing everyone
4. A blind allegiance to the MCPS brand, which results in denial, gaslighting and outright lies when stakeholders raise concerns of complain instead of engaging in earnest problem solving

None of those things have been brought on by the demographic shifts in the county.[/quote]
