[quote=Anonymous]Certainly one of the best things about MCPS is that, in terms of results, MCPS is one of the top school districts in the country, and one that is quite diverse across the district, and in some schools. Many of the High Schools are some of the top in the country, and again some of those are quite diverse in their populations. While test scores etc are certainly not an end all, and I think there is way too much emphasis on testing these days, there is little question that MCPS does a pretty fabulous job of preparing its students for college and beyond, and pushes students to take accelerated or advanced classes. It is far from perfect, and I assume there are problems of bullying and helicpter parents throughout the system, but for a public school system, there is certainly a lot to like. The DC system is surely getting better but its strength is in the elementary schools while MCPS excels at the HS level, and I would think that is a better approach. [/quote]
