[quote=Anonymous][quote]My experience was that MCPS got better and better in the higher grades, but your kids have to be in the most advanced classes at their schools to get the best teachers. [/quote] For BCC Cluster: in MS and the first two years of HS there are a *limited* number of truly advanced classes. In MS, only math (and for the first time this year in 6th, Advanced Global Humanities); in HS gradually builds up - 9th=Math plus 1 AP (NSL); 10th=Math, Honors Chem (real Honor & not just a "moniker"), 1 AP (APUSH). Finally in 11th there is a full array of truly advanced classes (IB and AP). We did not understand until DC was in HS that "Honors English" was just a moniker - Honors English in 9th and 10th is comprised of a mix of on-level and honors students (aka, it's really just an on-level class).[/quote]
