[quote=Anonymous]I have not had a child in MCPS, but currently have a MS and a recent HS graduate in FCPS. Moved here from PG (where older child did ES). There are pros and cons. In general we have found FCPS teachers involved and responsive, with generally excellent teaching ability. Because the schools are smaller, most kids know each other, and are known by the school administrators. Cons - less diversity and less intensity in the academic environment (which may be a plus for some), having to travel a far bit to take advantage of extracurricular activities and less opportunities for kids to interact outside of school. Gang activity is not a big deal, but recreational drinking and drugs can be. I’ve been more than happy here - have had to sometimes get creative to add rigor for my kids (oldest did lots of APs and dual enrollment) but it didn’t hurt oldest any. He’s a sophomore at Ivy League school, and our youngest seems to be doing at least as well as brother.[/quote]
