[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BOE just added criteria-based theater back to Northwood. No STEM criteria-based added back. So half victory?

Crazy the flip flop. [/quote]

MCPS isn't thinking this out at all.  [b]Its crazy that there is no stem between Einstein and Northwood[/b] and those kids are going to miss out like they currently do.[/quote]

Please stop posting this misinformation. They may not have as many STEM classes as other schools, but it's just false to stay there is no STEM.[/quote]

Please share with us how much stem is there.

There is up to calc bc, two engineering classes taught at the same time and two computer science.  There are no AP science classes.  It is bare bones.  Compare it to other schools.  [/quote]

This actually isn’t true. Northwood has AP Chemistry, Biology, and Environmental Science (maybe more). That said, there should be a criteria-based STEM program there, not just performing arts. [/quote]

+ AP Physics [/quote]

Northwood only offers 1 section of AP Physics 1 and no sections of AP Physics C. Northwood didn’t offer AP Chem the previous 2 years. This year they have one section of AP Chem. In contrast the W schools offer multiple periods of AP Physics 1, AP Physics C (Mechanics), AP Physics C (E&M) and AP Chem. Way more options at these schools. Also, when only one section of a class is offered, it means many students who want to take it are not able to either because it conflicts with another class at the same time or the class fills up.
