[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving to the area soon and had been thinking MoCo for the schools but this forum paints a bleak picture. Would any of you prefer a VA district to MCPS?[/quote]
1. The Superintendent has just been fired (for promoting a serial sexual harasser), a number of high-ranking officials have also been fired, and the central office is in disarray. It will take some time to find a new superintendent.

2. Due to the construction of two new high schools (Woodward and Crown), half of the county will be involved in massive school boundary studies. Your children may be rezoned during their stay at MCPS (unless you live within walking distance to the schools you like).

With such uncertainties, why do you choose to come to MCPS?

Do you think other schoool districts don’t redo boundaries [/quote]
Which school district is redoing boundaries for half of the district?

To be more precise, which school district is redoing boundaries for all its better schools?[/quote]

Which school district is 20 years overdue for that, leaving great differences in capacity utilization from school to school?[/quote]
The op has stated that they plan to rent in the DC area for a few years and they are considering MD and VA.

Both Crown and Woodward High schools in MCPS are scheduled to open in August 2027, and this will affect half of the schools in the west part of MCPS.

If they plan to stay for more than 3 years, they should be aware of the fact that their children may be rezoned.

If they don't like to be rezoned, they can find a new rental place after three years (if they are rezoned) or choose to live within walking distance to the schools they like (in which case they are less likely to be rezoned).

I'm simply providing very valuable advice to them, to be honest.[/quote]
