[quote=Anonymous][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]
the only really good thing about MCPS IMO is that they have some really good programs at the HS level, from magnet STEM to IB, aviation to automotive training, etc..

Agree my kids were in magnets the whole way through. They got an amazing education, and it's really available to anyone who is interested.[/quote]

Anyone who is interested can get in to a magnet? Wow. Please let me know how. My kid has applied to the high school magnets and I thought it was a crap shoot whether he’d get in, despite very strong academics. And my younger one has a shot to the middle school magnet only though a lottery, so please tell me where I express this “interest” and they are guaranteed places! [/quote]
