[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone tell me why MoCo has split articulation?  I can see a definition on MCPS but it seems like a practice that leads to a pretty awkward middle school experience.  Kids do not bother making friends with other kids who they know are going off to a different high school. It was difficult recruiting parents to invest their time in PTA and volunteer efforts because no one was invested in the school. It cast a shadow over the whole experience for us.

It’s not ideal for sure but it’s not as bad as you might think. I went to Cabin John and then Churchill. At the time it was probably 65-70% went to Wootton and 30-35% to Churchill. I was definitely friends with a lot of people who went to Wootton and it was really sad to split up for high school but once a month or two of high school passed most people made friends with kids from the other middle school Hoover.

Where things would be really bad would be if say 20-30% or less of an ES went to a different MS. Or if a small percentage of an ES went to the same MS as the rest of their ES but then split up and went to a different HS and was maybe 10%-25% of a MS going to a HS.[/quote]

I really hope they minimize split articulation for the same ES for MS and HS[/quote]
