[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main problem is that JR lets all comers into its AP classes. Most suburban schools don't. The kids either meet a cut off in a prerequisite, generally at B+, or they don't qualify to take the AP class up the chain.  Same with pre-IB work and IB Diploma.  Also, suburban schools generally offer far more APs than JR, which only teaches around 20 subjects.  Good suburban  high schools teach more than 30 (there are 39 subjects).  JR teaches 4 languages.  Some suburban schools in the DMV teach a dozen.  ECs tend to be far more serious in the burbs as well.  [/quote]

This.  I will also add that there are a ton less behavior issues in and out of the classroom which makes a huge difference in learning. Plus MCPS and FCPS are much better run school systems then DCPS and incompetent central office.[/quote]

Go on the MCPS forum.  Plenty of similar parent complaints as here.  They also switch teachers mid year in HS for full year classes which makes no sense.  I know lots of teachers in McPS who are not impressed by the schools they teach at.  [/quote]
