[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I stated this in another thread, how MoCo parents threatening to move to HoCo or FFX because MoCo dared to hire a consultant to look at how MCPS draws school boundaries made me chuckle. And where are they going to threaten to move to now. The response was that people were now moving to Frederick, and how much happier they are. That made me chuckle too. I'm sure Frederick county schools are fine, but their top schools are more like the mediocre ones in MoCo and HoCo. Of course, mediocre schools are fine, too. It's not like I live in a W school cluster. But if mediocrity is fine, not sure why moving to Frederick for the schools makes one happier.[/quote]

Montgomery County is ALREADY far more extreme in zoning based on race and demographics than what Howard County is proposing. Plus MCPS is discussing more extreme bussing. They have been screwing Darnestown kids for years bussing them farther away to NW to make sure that QO isn't too white and now they are considering bussing them to an even worse school SV that is even farther away.  The MCPS nuts are chomping to take down the W schools and the Silver Spring idiots are dreaming of the demise of Bethesda.

Howard and Frederick are still far better bets. Plus MCPS has dropped precipitously in the past decade. They lost the top spot years ago. [/quote]
So, isn't it good that they hired a consultant to look at a better way to draw boundaries?

By what metric do you think Frederick and HoCo are "still far better" bets than MCPS?   The top Frederick county high school is about the same level as Sherwood or NWHS, not exactly high performing MCPS HS, though I'm sure it's perfectly fine. Again, we don't live in a W cluster.[/quote]

In the new PARCC report card, MCPS ranked 7th in its 3-8 ELA and Math.  MCPS ranked ever lower in Algebra and ELA-10.  Yes, both Ferdericc and Howard county PS are ranked higher than MCPS.  [b]MCPS is relying its white and Asian students to stay above state average.[/b][/quote]
And HoCo and FredCo rely on who???...White and Asian to stay above average and up their scores.  In fact Asians scores have more effect on HoCo than MoCo. They barely move MoCo scores. 
HoCo has just 2 schools in the top 20 while MoCo has 8.
You're just too clueless [/quote]
