[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have family in HoCo and I have a fairly good idea that in terms of rigor they are not any better than MoCo. Yet, the schools are rated higher. Why is that? Is it that MoCo is bottom heavy with HI population, while HoCo is pretty much White/Asian? [/quote] They are smaller, fewer resources to try huge shifts in curricula. So they are more conservative (meaning less likely to make huge, sweeping progressive changes) than MoCo. [/quote] HoCo population is more homogenous. The schools seem fine but feel moco provides many vastly superior opportunities. For example, two of my children went through the magnets here when that was still based on merit. There's nothing comparable in hoco.[/quote]
