[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To each his own. I have a doctorate in education and know for a fact that overall Roland Park is a good school. At the end of the day the proof will be in the pudding. Will your kids go on to have stations in life much different from your friends who sent their kids to Mt. Washington and Roland Park.....probably not. My kids went on to the University of Michigan, Cornell, and M.I.T. All of them are successful and all attended public city schools. [/quote]

Roland Park elementary/middle is an excellent school. I have friends who have sent their children there, and their children have been well-prepared to enter highly competitive (public and private) programs at the middle and high school level. Most of my friends in the city opted out of the public system for high school, but there are some very well regarded public high school options.

I think people who make blanket statements condemning Baltimore city schools are indicating they have little knowledge of them. I don't have a vested interest; I live in the coun.  ty and am in highly regarded public schools. Highly regarded public schools which offer my children the same education that my friends' children in Baltimore city are receiving. [/quote]

That's a nice statement, but it just isn't accurate.  Talk to your friends about the curriculum, number of students in the classroom, and facilities --no comparison between even the "best" schools in the city and the schools in the county.  Mt. Washington, which is consistently touted here as a wonderful school doesn't even have a playground for its K-2 school.  Classes are overcrowded at RP, Mt. Washington, and other "good" schools because the community can't fill the classroom, so kids are bussed in until the class is deemed "full."[/quote]
