[quote=Anonymous]DCPS and MCPS are different. JR and Walls are different. It sounds like folks are getting the info they need to compare and contrast. If you don’t like what JR is doing, you can share that feedback with administrators and hope for change. If you have the means, you can move to MCPS or go private.

Kids who seek challenge at JR find it. The school does not track, but interesting, challenging classes are available to those who want them. The school does not see parents as their primary “customers”; they want students to self-manage. The school also doesn’t see itself as competing with other schools; it’s a public school that takes all comers and seeks to do the best it can by a huge range of students.

No option is perfect for everyone. Lots of kids go to JR and love it. Some think it’s fine. I’m sure some/many don’t love it. Kind of like when I was in public high school. Talk to some MCPS high school parents; I’m sure they’re also frustrated, perhaps by different things. The grass is always greener.[/quote]
