[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Fairfield Cty . My kids grew up here. MCPS is a much larger and diverse system. Greenwich does not have to accommodate new immigrants and hungry kids. I think the county based schools provide fairer funding and more opportunities-immersion and magnets. Both of my kids are at great colleges and were well prepared.[/quote] Immersion? Not really much of an option for OP’s middle school kids. Also, the spots are VERY limited even for kids starting in K. Considering the number of kids in MCPS, a minuscule number get into the immersion programs. And MS magnets? More spots open up for HS, but the MS magnets are also ridiculously limited. My kid went from a regional CES to our home school and his ‘Advanced English’ class had kids who could barely form sentences. Not very engaging, to say the least. Glad your kids had a great experience, but MCPS faces many challenges due to the fact that it is so large and diverse. [/quote]
