[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Chappaqua, where all the school districts are town-based. What it leads to is: 1. super high property taxes to pay for the administrative overhead 2. high test scores in the rich towns, and lower test scores in the poor towns. 3. because the towns are so small, i'm not aware of many magnet programs, or other things MCPS has. Chappaqua has accelerated classes for gifted kids, but I'm not aware of any whole-school magnets. You have a handful of ES's, maybe 2 MS's (one when I was there) and 1 HS. Very little choice. [/quote] That was not my experience at all. I went to a town based school district in NJ and we were not wealthy at all. We had a fantastic GT program. I’d happily give up the ‘choice’ that MCPS offers for a better-run school system. [/quote]
