[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question even though it might sound dumb. PG County has many educated middle class, upper class AA families, why have their schools consistently ranked low inspite of the good demographic? I don't want to sound mean but this intrigues me. In real life, I have worked with and met tons of smart, educated, brilliant AA folks who actually live in PG, why haven't the schools done better?[/quote] A lot of those families send their kids to private schools. 75% of the families I know like you described send their kids to private schools (including religious). So many of the public schools have tipped into majority poverty status. It's the same process that happened in DCPS in the 60-80s.[/quote]
