[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither really. Both are pretty average for their demographic mix and have a problematic drug culture.[/quote]

Are you not American? literally EVERY high school in the entire country has a drug problem[/quote]

Have been overseas for a year. Can you briefly explain why this is happening in such high numbers? Thanks![/quote]

Look I'm 54 and it was happening in my own high school in Greenwich Ct. It was happening at the private schools in Los Angeles when my kids were tiny.

It's just what happens in HS. You become more aware of it as a parent and when you start reading online reviews on GreatSchools.org etc

Its not new.[/quote]

PP here - it is just that I never heard the issue being as bad as now, and so rampant everywhere and all the OD-ing. [/quote]

1) The drugs kids have access to today are more dangerous than in the past because fentanyl can be in almost anything 
2) media loves talking about kids in danger
3) MCPS and MCPD and the State's Attorney have really been very public recently about the fentanyl/opioid issues in schools - much more so than they've ever been. So the awareness of drug use is probably higher now than it has ever been.
4) Having attended MCPS high schools back in the 90s, there were definitely drugs around back then. They just weren't spiked with fentanyl.[/quote]
