[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2.0 or no, compared to the rest of the nation MCPS (and, Fairfax county too FWIW) are providing stellar, well above-average educations.  According to this tool, student in MoCo perform 66% better than other students nationwide: http://www.theatlantic.com/misc/global-report-card/

USNews goes more in depth, if you  Google there's a lot of websites, and overall MoCo is a very strong county.  It's hard to speculate on what policy changes will be made in 2 - 3 years.  Some of it is being driven by the common core initiative which is a nationwide policy (http://www.corestandards.org/), and then some of it is customizable.  I think the best thing to ask yourself is what your goals are for your child's education, and if you're concerned that where you live can't meet those goals, where would you look for a better alternative.[/quote]

FWIW here's another ranking from SchoolDigger.com. MoCo schools rank #10 in Maryland behind Howard County and others. http://www.schooldigger.com/go/MD/districtrank.aspx

Of course any rankings should be taken with a grain of salt. Quality will vary from school to school (that's especially true in MoCo). And most rely on test scores, which only tells you so much about the quality of a school.

And yes, many complainers are people who just like to complain, which is unproductive. But just as bad is complacency. Thinking that the system is just fine and not looking critically at how things can be improved. There are a good number of this type here as well. [/quote]
