[quote=Anonymous]DP.  I would offer two routes.  Yes, you can go private.  The other option is stay in MCPS but supplement heavily with tutors, after-school and summer programs.  I think this latter option is a better route and what we do.

Certain schools in MCPS (nicknamed "the W's") still maintain descent academic standards.  If you're worred about your hope school, just check their school profiles for % of kids meeting UofM college minimum standards and what % of kids took the SAT's.  From there backtrack to the MS and ES and check their GreatSchool, Niche, and other ratings.  If they're 7+, I think you're fine sticking with MCPS.

The only wildcard are the nut cases who want to radically change school boundaries or bus kids to promote their own personal social agendas.  I think MCPS has been in decline for about 20 years now.  It started when AEI changed hands around 2000, fueled by personal agendas by certain MCPS central office, boe, and county council members. A few still remain but are difficult to flush out, so the decline continues.[/quote]
