DP. Just no. For starters, MCPS should require that all schools have some level of behavior expectation from their students and implement repercussions for not following them. Some schools do a much better job at doing that. [/quote]

Bingo! 100% that.
Subbed, including many long-term gigs, in MCPS for years. The number one correlation with behavioral problems in schools was NOT the makeup of the student body, it was NOT the quality of the teachers; the most important was the the competency of the school administrators. The difference between different school behaviors was vast, and had little to do with the racial/economic makeup of the school.

Most likely the problem with the school isn't the students; it's the administrative team. Not that knowing that helps you
The old saying "those who can't do, teach" needs an addendum: "and those who can neither do nor teach become school administrators"

So to OP...try for the COSA - but for a school you are ABSOLUTELY certain will be better. Middle school is tough. Most  MCPS are emotional and behavioral sinkholes, so a change of scenery may not make a difference. But it sounds like you have an idea for an acceptable MS. Good luck.
