[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved for the schools. We are in the BCC cluster, and it is fine but not great. Definitely stronger than the EOTP DCPS though. If I could do it over again I would have stayed in DC and done private. [/quote]

I find this hard to believe. I had kids at fka Wilson, and know tons of BCC families and they all had the same experience/outcome wrt college. Also know a handful of families who moved to Maryland and then went private. So, they took a loss on housing and taxes. [/quote]

DCPS => MCPS, we found a huge difference in math (Takoma Park schools).  For math kids, MCPS was a great move, more options for sophisticated math in high school than friends in DC privates.  For the other subjects, not sure.[/quote]

This might be true for middle school but we left in elementary and I can only comment that my children were several grade levels ahead in math entering MCPS from DC. I was shocked at how low the math expectations were in mid elementary in MCPS. Then they speed through (appropriately) in middle school.[/quote]

DCPS Amd MCPS use the same curriculum (eureka) and both follow CCSS. [/quote]
