[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MoCo in general and MCPS in particular peaked decades ago.  I’d go with one of the strong pyramids in FCPS, of which there are more and at different price points than can be said of MCPS:  for example, Langley, McLean, Oakton, Chantilly, Madison, Woodson, Marshall, Lake Braddock, Robinson, or West Springfield.

I went to MCPS decades ago. My kids are there today. They are getting a much better education than I ever got at W's. This is because many programs are available to kids interested in learning if you want to take advantage of them. Yes, the world has changed. The demographics of Montgomery County are different than 30 years ago; however, you can get as good or even better education today if you care about that.[/quote]

Do you mean magnet programs? I agree those are strong, but there aren't enough spots for everyone. I judge MCPS on what they offer to the general education population, and that is really lacking. My kids are in ES/MS, but my understanding is that the same is true for HS until you get to AP/IB classes.[/quote]

I'm actually just interested in opportunities offered to high-achieving. The average student fairs well for average rigor in either place. [/quote]
