[quote=Anonymous]I was going to respond to the other poster talking about how other red states will have worse schools but I guess Jeff deleted it.

But just wanted to point out the top 30 schools in the DC Metro area according to US News:

https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/1288311.page

Looking at the top twenty, Fairfax has 8 schools.  (TJ doesn't count)  MCPS has 5, three of which have the magnet or IB program.

Expanding it to the top thirty, Fairfax has 10 (excluding TJ). MCPS has 8, including the three schools with special programs.

Rankings within the state is kind of meaningless because of how wide and different the populations in the state is.

So comparing rankings within the specific DC Metro region is more applicable.

But I think the days of thinking MCPS as a premier school system is pretty much gone.

As others said, it's not a bad school system overall.

But personally I only see it continuing going down with the kind of changes they're trying to implement.  And one doesn't have to go far to find a better school system in the area.[/quote]
