[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clarksburg.

Basically MC and UMC families.  And kids who are excelling at school. Mainly ORM students.

ORM = Over Represented Minorities. [/quote]

In 2022-2023, 49.0% of students either received FARMS or had received FARMS in the past in MCPS, and 36.0% currently received FARMS.

For enrollment by race/ethnicity: 14.0% white, [b]24.3% Asian-American[/b], 27.0% Hispanic, 29.5% Black/African-American.

44.1% of graduates scored 3 or higher on at least one AP test, 55.9% didn't.

My kid graduated from Clarksburg, Clarksburg was fine, the PP's characterization is just plain wrong.

24.3% Asian-Americans is wonderful.  Kids are going to excel.  (At least Asian-American kids!).   If your kid of whatever race is a studious high achiever they can join the Asian-American students and also do well.  Asian-Americans like to associate with academically oriented kids.

27% Hispanics is normal for a sanctuary county.  The population of MoCo has a ton of Hispanics.    Similarly, 30% African Americans is also pretty good because this area has lots of MC Black families. As for the White population, even Frederick is turning brown!    Guns are ubiquitous in US.  We are living in a lawless country that is armed to the gills.  So, Clarksburg is amazing, clean and close-knit.

24.3% Asian-Americans is truly amazing.  This is a high achieving group.   It is enough for your kid to get a cohort and all the STEM educated parents are able to coach and mentor the robotics team, app development team, DOE alt energy vehicle team, NASA challenges team, debate, chess, Rubik's cube, science olympiad, math olympiad, history bowl, geography bowl...the sky is the limit.[/quote]
