[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Neither MCPS nor DCPS provide high quality education for K-12, unless you can access a small number of schools/programs for at least some of those grades:

MCPS: K-8 is a problem unless you’re in a CES or magnet. High school is generally better.

DCPS: A few good elementary schools exist, but then you’re up a creek unless you’re going to Deal or SWW.

I don’t see how the two systems are so different, when you look at K-12 education as a whole. They both have some pluses and a ton of minuses.[/quote]
MPCS Does 
DCPS doesn't. 
It is as simple as that.

One is great not perfect (MCPS )
The other sucks in general  (DCPS )

I'm not sure how this became a DC v. MoCo schools discussion, but I've lived in the area for decades and have not ever heard a friend say that they want to move into DC for the schools, whereas I've had many, many friends worry about what to do once their child is finished with the local DC public elementary school (which, at least in far NW DC, can be quite good).

Yup, this is why we didn’t stay in DC when we had our daughter. Even if we stretched our budget to buy in district for the good elementary schools, we would have had few choices come middle school (especially with the boundary changes for Deal, there are no guarantees) and high school was a big question mark. VA is awful for our commutes, so MoCo it was.[/quote]
