[quote=Anonymous]NoVa is doing pretty well.

Montgomery County has lost 10K jobs in the past few years while NoVa is grown by significantly more. NoVa's tax base is growing Montgomery County's is declining. NoVa's scores are going up, MCPS scores are going down. Real estate in Bethesda and areas close in to DC may be strong but the rest of the county has not kept pace with appreciation in comparison to NoVa.

NoVa did not take it on themselves to create a new curriculum in house with incompetent staff. They don't have the mess that MCPS has created for themselves. NOVA hasn't decided to shut down AAP and only retain TJ to level the playing field.

MCPS has done nothing but talk about PARCC and how 2.0 is all designed to skyrocket them to the top on PARCC. MCPS has so much riding on PARCC scores at this point that when MCPS bombs this test next year, it will be a mess. NoVa has ignored PARCC. They may fare better or the same on the test but it doesn't matter because they didn't trash their curriculum to prepare for PARCC. [/quote]
