[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Qo is a sports oriented school. Not an academically oriented school.  You will find many parents who choose to live within the qo boundaries send their children to private.  In return, the county pulls students in from far away for the equity initiative. [/quote]

Quince Orchard does very well in sports because the school spirit is far superior than the rest of the high schools. When you have great school spirit you tend to have a lot of athletes going out for teams. In the ho him schools there are a lot of athletes who can’t be bothered to try out for the teams.

Many parents send theirs to private? Stats please.[/quote]

Oh please!! No. There is definitely great school spirit at qo but it's because the coaching staff pulls in top athletic talent from outside the school boundaries and that leads to more wins. Look around Twitter, Instagram and even other Montgomery County message boards. It's mentioned often. That means student athletes whose parents pay to live in the qo boundaries don't get as much playing time. There's a low grumble among parents about this and it will become an issue.

As for parents paying for private,  take a walk around the kentlands after school and watch the private school kids roll in wearing school uniforms.

You have no clue. *athletes who can't be bothered to try out for teams*! That's a lark![/quote]
