[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I advise people to leave their MCPS bubble once in a while.  Even at its worst, MCPS provides a higher level of education and college prep than most of the country.  Could it see some changes and improvements? Of course.  Nobody is perfect.  But to act as if MCPS is somehow not A level education is ridiculous.[/quote]

That's not really true. If you look at it by state and compare similar demographic groups you'd be surprised which states are on top. MCPS does an absolutely horrific job educating Black, Latino and low-income kids.[/quote]

What standard is set across every public school district? There’s nothing that allows us to adequately compare success.

FYI, there are so many underlying factors to whether students succeed beyond race and socioeconomic status.[/quote]

No, we can't compare MCPS specifically to school districts in other states, but we can see that many other states that you probably look down on do markedly better than Maryland in educating kids from similar demographic groups. The constant refrain we hear in DCUM suggesting certain groups are impossible to educate is racism and classism
