[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is a senior at a W school. Took 9 APs and has gotten straight As throughout high school. I cannot think of one time she was stressed about too much work or gave up any leisure activities to study.

I am not telling you this to brag, quite the opposite: her first shot on the SAT was 1080. That should tell you all there is to know.[/quote]

OP. This is exactly the point I'm talking about and it is quite scary. Did her MAP score give any sort of indication that she wouldn't have a high SAT score in her first try? Do you remember what her percentile range was in her 9th grade MAP test? Tbh, I just don't get it. I thought MCPS is considered one of the best not in the area but in the entire country. [/quote]

DP. You can get a good eduction at MCPS schools, particularly the W schools. The problem is the wholesale embrace of profound grade inflation by MCPS administrators. No one knows who's learning what when everyone is getting an A. Grade inflation was the MCPS solution to low performing students. No one can tell that significant parts of Montgomery County are underperforming when you can hide results behind systemic grade inflation. Personally, I blame voters. This is what you get when you keep electing "progressive" educators. [/quote]
