[quote=Anonymous]I feel strongly that they should focus on expanding the specialty programs for middle and high schools rather than just on elementary schools. There are lots of great elementary schools in PGCPS but the MS and HS options are abysmal if you live in the wrong part of the County. If you knew you were very likely to get into a good MS program I feel like a lot of people would stay in their local ES, which would in turn improve the performance of the local schools etc. It's a vicious circle. It makes me so sad to see many of the neighborhood kids bail on our local ES in order to go to a specialty program that will take them through 8th grade. If we could attract them to the local ES (which are actually often better than the specialty programs) it would benefit everyone!!! Oh- and universal Pre-K....that would be fantastic too. [/quote]
