[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to Montgomery County because of the schools, and now, we are moving out for the exact same reason. MCPS has been deteriorating on so many levels over the last decade. It feels like watching a car wreck in slow motion. Our kids deserve better.[/quote] MCPS is one of the 20 largest, most diverse (socioeconomically & ethnically) public school systems in the country. Everyone has a different experience. Too bad it didn't work out for you and your family. I hope you're going to a smaller, generally all-around wealthy district. For the record, we have been part of the school system for 10+ years and feel our kids have gotten a very good education and will be better prepared for college that most graduating seniors in the US. [/quote] I think MCPS does high achieving in the W's well, but I also think those kids would do well anywhere. One of my kids did great and I'd absolutely agree they were very well prepared for college. They even said college was way easier than high school. The kids in the middle get lost though, especially at the W high schools. It's a really soul sucking place to be if you struggle with academics at all as our second child did. Anyways just to echo it's a big HUGE district. IMO too big and unwieldy so that those middle kids do get lost. -not OP[/quote]
