[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put area into perspective. MCPS consistently has 20% of its population in the top 5% of students nationally. This is why they have to locally norm MAP test scores, for example.

MCPS education locally is likely equivalent to private school education anywhere else in the country.

It offers more services and provide a broad range of support for the diverse student population. It is also the largest school district in MD.

All bad things about MCPS aside, if you look at the whole, it's not a bad bet.[/quote]

Anywhere else? No way. Not comparable to top private schools in any major city.[/quote]
DP.. you clearly don't know much about privates in other major cities.

My DC met some kids from another major city via discord during the pandemic. They were playing computer games together and got to talking about school.

One kid was from a private school in a major city and said they were having trouble with math.   DC is a math whiz, and tutored this kid online.

This kid told my DC what their highest level math course was, and DC was floored.  Our non W school has two math class higher than their most advanced math class.

I don't think you realize how advanced the math tracks in the DC area public schools are.  I moved from out west, so I know a bit about other school districts.[/quote]
