[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG what a mess MCPS is.  In my son's private, he has mid terms and finals.  These tests count for one third of his semester grade.  The final exams happen two per day over 4 days.  He takes 7 courses, so that is 7 exams.  The exams are on top of any AP exams he takes (which are mandatory).  Stress level is not that of a typical W high school.  These kids are taught well and have text books.  There are various levels of academic rigor in the school.  My son is on the higher level of that.

In the weeks preceding exam week, students are really working hard, studying, etc.  Classes the week prior to exam week are dedicate to review.  These kids come out of these courses really knowing the material.

My son is a senior, but I know parents of kids who have already graduated from this school and gone on to college.  Many say college is a cakewalk compared to this high school.  The kids are very well prepared for college because they had a similar curriculum, i.e. cumulative exams and having to write papers on a regular basis.

So glad we left MCPS.

[b]Oh, and by the way, our tuition is &lt; $25K.

How much &lt;$25K?

I'm glad that you're glad that you left MCPS. Why are you still posting on the Maryland Public Schools board?[/quote]
