[quote=Anonymous]I'm an MCPS teacher who teachers in a "10" school. IWhile I love the school where I teach, I certainly don't think students in this school receive a better education than students even in a "5" school. In fact, the class sizes in "10" schools are often much larger. Students in these "10" schools (usually translating to socioeconomic status of the area in general) have often had access to strong preschools, tutoring as needed, etc....In general, their foundational skills may be stronger from the start just based on experience. I would NEVER leave a community I love based on that rating. I would ask parents in the neighborhood if they are happy with the school. There are several "10" schools where I know morale is terrible...but test scores are high and FARMS is low....I will take a "5" school with a positive atmosphere over that any day of the week![/quote]
