FCPS is the same. [/quote]

I've never really been impressed with MCPS to begin with.

When it was considered good, it was really just a handful of schools that really stood out.  And the that top percent was what one of the previous superintendents would always flaunt and brag about.

As the other poster mentioned a lot of what's going on is reflective of what's going on across the region and country as a whole.  For example dropping SAT scores.

Baltimore County Public Schools implemented a new policy where they can't give students lower than 50% and also no grades associated with homework or effort:

[b]Some of it might have to do with seeing what other school systems are like to appreciate what you have as well.  Where I've seen people come from other school systems talking about some of the great offerings and resources that MCPS has compared to what they saw in their previous school district.[/b]

I think this part is very true.  We came from CA where school funding is abysmal.  Services offered by mcps is leagues above what we got in CA - and I don't mean special needs services, I mean things like art, PE, gifted, immersion, IB programs.[/quote]

Agree 1,000%[/quote]
