[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moco resident here.  NAEP scores for VA 4th in the Nation.  MD scores on NAEP in the 30’s.  Where are you getting that MoCo standards are somehow hirer?  Oh Derek Turner? (MCPS PR rep) More than half of MCPS 4th graders can’t read at grade level.  (Show me 4th grades scores and I’ll show you the number of future college graduates) Just because Maryland and MCPS outspends the country on education doesn’t mean a great education.  So tired of MCPS spin in particular.  [/quote]

[b]Their test scores are lower because their standardized exams are more rigorous and they keep changing. HSA, PARCC, MCAP, etc. it’s hard to compare VS schools with MD schools, because they’re being measured using different standardized exams, but it’s certainly not as hard to be the number 3 school in VS as much as it is to be the number 3 school in Maryland. Maryland has a significantly larger portion of higher performing high schools that compete with each other, VA doesn’t. [/quote][/b]

This is really unconvincing. [/quote]

MoCo has a high percentage of low SES and minority students. Look beyond the W schools and B-CC, the other schools are significantly worse because they have high concentrations of poverty and underserved minority students. That’s why Howard and Montgomery are trying to re-district their schools. [/quote]

...is this also an argument for why MoCo schools are better than NoVA schools? Because it's also not convincing.[/quote]
