[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Howard county schools are much better than MCPS[/quote]

But yet MCPS high schools are consistently the top in the state.[/quote]

Individually for a handful of schools.  This only helps if you live in one of the wealthier areas and your kids are zoned for the 5-6 top schools.  If you are in the rest of the 90% of the school district, you have a much weaker school system than HCPSS.  The school system in HCPSS is consistently stronger across the board.  In general the majority of HCPSS ranks significantly better than the all but those top few schools.[/quote]
dp.. as a PP noted, HCPSS has less lower income kids than MCPS. That's why you think it's "consistently stronger across the board". That may be a correct assessment but it's not a fair comparison.

Now, if you compare like for like, most of the Top HS in MD are in MoCo.[/quote]

The bottom schools are why MCPS keeps experimenting with things like Core 2.0 and Restorative Justice and whatever else the admins are cooking up.

HCPSS doesn’t experiment as much because the school system is healthier. There isn’t much to be embarrassed about.

HCPSS’s biggest problem is overcrowding, but hardly anyone complains about the curriculum.[/quote]
