[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never considered Moco the best school system. But they are way better than PG. Dont want to move to VA, so MoCo it is. I think so much depends on actual school your child is attending. We did ton of research before buying and are very happy with the school, irregardless of BS from central office.[/quote]
+1  There is no perfect public school (or probably private, either).  We moved from out West.

Also, in some ways, a school is only as good as how well the lowest performer is doing. This is one of the criterias that is looked at by those all important school rankings like USNWR.   I kind of feel the same - you know the school is pretty good if the lower SES students are doing pretty well, too.  The upper/middle SES students will do well regardless of whether it's MCPS, FCPS, HCPS, etc.  How a school district is able to meet the needs of varying abilities is a marker of how good a school system is.   My one DC was in HGC (now in MS), and another is probably not going to HGC, but I feel both kids are being challenged.   I don't need them to be challenged all the time at this age.

I'm not saying MCPS is without fault.  But, I can see why they want to close the achievement gap.[/quote]

PG is actually improving. MC is not. [/quote]
