[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would take the more grounded DCC schools over ones like Whitman or BCC. One can find a sizable high-achieving cohort at any MCPS school. Sure, one may have 5 sections of AP English while the other only has 3, but who cares.

Schools like Whitman and BCC are known for having both drug culture and racial issues. I think there was even a kid with a knife running around the parking lot a few months ago. Not to mention all the racial incidents that plague these schools like the N*word cards or kids in blackface. [/quote]

Almost half of the high schools in MCPS, including many of the DCC schools, couldn’t produce a single NMSF this year, so the idea that they all have sizable high-achieving cohorts is laughable. They have small cohorts of above-average kids and large cohorts of below-average kids and kids who may be bright but are below grade level due to their limited education before arriving in this country.  Who do you think gets the lion’s share of the attention at those schools?  [/quote]

What's laughable is your fixation on NMSF as a measure of school desirability. [/quote]

It’s one metric.  What’s laughable is the suggestion that mediocre schools are “grounded” when they are actually just weighted down. [/quote]

How about avg income after 10years as a measure of success? I bet that one tracks great schools ratings fairly consistently [/quote]
DP and no shit.  Kids of rich parents earn more than kids of non-rich parents.

That’s… not about school quality.[/quote]
