Are most posters new to the area? Young parents?

The Harvard link discusses the shifting demographics in mcps…and it’s from nearly 20 years ago. If you compare those numbers to the current mcps demographics, you’ll see the continued and rapid shift.

The report praises success with improved educational outcomes despite the demographics. This was under Jerry Weast at a time when mcps was nationally recognized and parents pulled their kids from private school to benefit from mcps.

Read the report then google current demographics, budget issues, teacher retention, etc. and then report back.

If you think only a right wing parent would be concerned with the current issues facing mcps then I think you are uninformed and naive. I’m as liberal as they come as are my friends and family who teach in mcps and send their kids to mcps schools. FTR, we aren’t in a W school or magnet program. If your kids are segregated in a bubble and benefit from a completely different system, good for you. But the rest of us are experiencing something different. [/quote]

I would argue that on an individual level the same things are true today as we're 20 years ago. I feel my kids are getting an excellent education from MCPS, but not everybody values the same things. Sure the county is different today. Nevertheless, a great education is available for anyone who wants it. The opportunities are still there.[/quote]
