[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What issues and criteria are you most concerned about? If it's security and safety, none of MCPS's high schools are great. They're all struggling.

If it's academic rigor and quality of teaching and admin staff, yes that will vary school by school.[/quote]

The latter. Quality of education if my kid doesn't get into a magnet. Quality of extracurriculars (is it at a high level, or is it so competitive you can't get in). Course options. Is there a lot of flexibility, etc.?

No Seneca Valley. We know some unhappy parents there. Some are trying to move out. [/quote]

SV just got a new school so it’s much better.[/quote]

Seneca has out of control violence.  
Nw has had a student murdered by a fellow classmate (s).
Quince orchard is the gentler of the 3.[/quote]
not necessarily the best academics.[/quote]

When you look at the scores, Quince Orchard has students from inner Gaithersburg whis folks don't speak English and students who's parents are innovators of biotechnology in the kentlands. So yes, you get more of a mixed bag.[/quote]
that's probably true, but I don't think those ESOL kids are taking AP and SAT exams.   NWHS has higher SAT scores/participation, especially considering its larger than QO -- more kids = more chance of lowering the average.[/quote]
