[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think with the current state of MCPS, getting feedback from parents that the school is "OK" is a positive thing. When parents tell you a school is bad, believe them. But "ok" means the school is pretty acceptable. [b]There is a smaller and smaller pool of schools that parents rave about and feel is great in MCPS these days thanks to the wreckage that McKnight and Felder left behi[/b]nd. But maybe Taylor will turn things around. We'll have to wait and see.[/quote]
You mean the so-called parents on DCUM, because IRL of 80% of parents are fine with MCPS. [/quote]

I disagree. Lots of people I know in real life are unhappy with MCPS and some of them are moving over to private school. I'm sure OP has seen the thread about the "Is MCPS Losing Its Edge" piece.

OP, I agree with PPs telling you to go private if you can afford it. You can have a just fine experience at RHES but elementary school could be so much better and so much more joyful than what MCPS currently provides. RHES was pretty meh for my kids who attended during COVID but the issue isn't RHES, it's MCPS. Class sizes are getting bigger (thank you budget cuts!). RHES is big but I think the bigger problem is the split articulation, we felt like we never put roots down anywhere. And longer-term consideration: MCPS offers some advanced math pathways starting in grade 4 but the reading and writing curriculum is weak. My kids completed a lot of worksheets and Chromebook assignments grades K-5. [/quote]
You can disagree as much as you want, but the fact remains that over 80% of real MoCo residents are happy with MCPS.[/quote]

Where are you getting this 80 percent figure from? And is it "residents" or "parents"? And whatever, even if there is a survey showing that a majority of MCPS parents are satisfied with MCPS, it doesn't constitute evidence that MCPS is doing well. It certainly doesn't resolve the real problems with curriculum and accountability identified by the Bethesda Magazine article. [/quote]
