[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What 12:49 said, plus people want good schools but don't want their taxes raised to pay for them.  Plus MCPS keeps throwing money down the black hole they call the opportunity gap. And, because good staff (teachers AND Principals) are leaving because of all of the above.  The new, young Principals have drunk the "MCPS is the grestest" Kool-Aide, and don't know how to do what's right for students, or support their teachers, and instead do whatever the entrenched Central Office staff tell them to do.[/quote]

I for one and REALLY SICK of people flippantly defining a 'good school' or a 'good school district' as one that generates the strongest standardized PARCC and MAP scores. ANd then later the ones that generate strong ACT and SAT scores.

A school is the sum of its Student Peer Group, Teachers and Curriculum. If one or those are a distraction or ineffective, your kid will suffer.

On the school side: A good school should be engaged teaching, kids of all abilities learning and progressing, a well-rounded class schedule, useful feedback on child performance, and a cohesive curriculum that has textbooks, workbooks, and assignments.
