[quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting report and a lot to digest.

One conclusion I agree with, especially if you are trying to determine if moving to a different school/cluster will offer the academic opportunities you want for your kid:

" While this report does not make recommendations on the availability of courses throughout MCPS, OLO
has identified one issue that MCPS should address when decisions about boundaries and programs have been solidified – the utilization and uniformity of course catalogs. During the course of this report, OLO found that there is no consistency among school catalogs. The central MCPS catalog contains courses
that may not be available in all schools. Individual school catalogs, if even available, are not uniform. OLO
found that courses identified in individual school catalogs did not match up with what courses were
actually o􀆯ered. Further, MCPS sta􀆯 reported that this can be a problem – without consistency, students
and families may not be able to easily identify courses available to them.

Therefore, OLO suggests that no matter what decisions are made about programs and curriculum in the coming months and years, MCPS provide schools catalogs that are comprehensive, uniform, and updated annually to ensure that students and families have all the information readily available to select schools, pathways, and courses."[/quote]
