[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Various PPs, thank you for the feedback:  the data on RM, and the comparison bt JR and BCC and GDS.

For the poster noting that the students who excel are taking AOPS and CTY, sigh, I agree, .. such a shame to then have to use free time outside of school.[/quote]

Most aren’t doing these programs for MS/HS because by that point kids are involved in extracurriculars or especially in HS taking classes on their level.[/quote]

We stuck with AoPS through MS/HS because the MCPs Math curriculum is just so bad.  Especially during Covid, it was sorely lacking. (At least, at our school - the Algebra MCAP results were abysmal.)

Our MS also puts all the kids in Advanced English, so that is a useless class.  Definitely a waste of time, and my kid took writing classes over the summers to develop her writing skills in MS/HS.

I agree it sucks and I wish they would actually learn these skills IN school.  But, AoPS and writing classes were still cheaper for us than private school.  Kept my fingers crossed that my kid would stay away from drugs (prevalent in pretty much every MCPS school, IME) and stuck it out with MCPS.[/quote]
