What you posted are facts that would encourage high performing students to come to MCPS because there are many of their peers and programs offered for them to become more competitive.

Yet many people on DCUM seem to think that they need to speak out for the low performing students. So your facts mean nothing to them - these facts are not related to their interest.

Those programs are moot.
They are 60 minutes away from a bulk of the highest performing students (as MCPS put magnet programs in troubled schools in troubled neighborhoods).[/quote]

That is true. But the competition for the magnet program is still intense. So I do not really see people being too concerned about that.

The number of seats in the program hasn’t grown much versus MCPS population skyrocketing. Esol the most.
AP test scores? sAt or ACT?  Seriously? How does that address half the points brought up or the k8 lack of curriculum or ES shortcomings?[/quote]

That is my point too. These facts are showing that high-performing students are doing quite well in MoCo. They do not address the issues for the low performing part.

In fact, there is not much more to be addressed. The students define the schools. When you have students who work hard and try to achieve high performance, the school(s) performance goes up. The opposite is true too. The county has already provided enough support in the public school system for most students.

Anyway, that is a bit off topic for the thread which started with discussing families of high performing students.
