[quote=Anonymous]The majority of Montgomery County schools perform poorly. Test scores from the Bethesda/Potomac and a few other areas carry the rest of the county. Same thing in DC if you compare younger kids test scores in JKLM with other ES schools. JKLM students don't matriculate into the high schools at as high rate and they aren't numerous enough to make it look like a big gap. The difference is that Montgomery County has hidden its poor school performance behind the high scoring areas. Montgomery County overall is on the decline. The high SES areas are not growing but the low SES areas are growing very fast. DC is turning over more neighborhoods pushing the poverty into Montgomery County which isn't improving areas. VA is also growing fast in the high SES areas too. [/quote]
