[quote=Anonymous]There is no question that our HS cluster (BCC) went downhill in 2020 and has never recovered. As evidence, take a look at violence, overcrowding, parents fleeing to private, grade inflation (everyone gets As in everything.) Most parents are unhappy but are unable to leave because they are trapped in their mortgages and can't swing $50K / year. This isn't news. What is interesting is the knock-on effect on real estate. SFHs in the sending area have noticeably slowed, but MF has not. Translation: Swing of student body away from affluent to less so. You can say what you will, but this will hurt the school over time. Taken at large, new parents are now avoiding MC for homes because the word is out that they will be getting hit with high taxes (going up) and private tuition--which is increasingly impossible to afford. This is a death spiral for the County. Virtue signaling about diversity is empty. You either improve the schools by making hard choices or you die.[/quote]
