[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are debating switching from private to MCPS public for HS.  One major concern is school safety.  We are located for Montgomery Blair.  Just heard of recent incidents there this week.
Can any current or past parents comment on frequency of "incidents", and have they been increasing in number? What does the school/mcps plan to do to improve the situation?
Do your kids feel safe at the school?  TIA![/quote]

I have two kids in MCPS currently. One at Blair, which an older DD also attended. I think incidents are more publicized. Older DD attended Blair when a student was stabbed, but she attended MCPS for 13 years without even getting in a fistfight or being physically threatened.

My two kids currently in MCPS get put in SIP pretty regularly due to threats outside of the school building. These are usually over fast and don’t annoy them much.

One of them was in a brief girlfight in MS while walking home from TPMS. It was a random interaction with zero beef at school beforehand or afterwards. I’m actually not even sure the other tween attended TPMS since there’s SSIMS, DCPS, and private schools all dismissing into the same area at the same time.

My third (currently at Blair) has never had a fight in MCPS. I worry about him the most as a target.[/quote]
