[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I remember when MCPS used to brag about their national rankings?  I know someone will probably blame the drop on covid, but since the entire country went through covid, I don't think that's the issue here?  If MCPS can't correct this soon, then I think yes, it will impact which kids get into good colleges.

You may also want to understand that these rankings aren't a reflection of the school but their SES/demographics, which are very different today than in years past. As some poster has said, the same kid will get the same education at any of these schools. This is as true today as ever in fact there are many incredible opportunities for kids who are interested in learning, and these simple minded rankings sponsored by the real estate industry to boost home prices don't reflect that.[/quote]
