PP, is this true for all MCPS MS or just this one? Thank you.
Its true of all MS and HS except for strict teachers but most are relaxed.
Wow - this is the first I am hearing of this - is this because they get in-class time for homework but instead are looking at non-HW related sites?
Because they are super long classes so kids finish the work quickly. The teachers sit at their desk and teach like they’re still on zoom
Great - why doesn't MCPS have better investment in MS? Their HS and ES levels seem much better.
MS was far better for us than HS. Not at all impressed with HS.

PP, did you take a test once you got there? Haven't heard of Algebra in 6th. What HS did you attend after LMS?
There was no test for my child. It was choice partly and partly grades and map scores.
How is the math department at Loiederman? Strong teachers?
The one teacher was good we had but we left as the band-orchestra was terrible and time wise the commute wasn’t worth it. It’s for kids who enjoy the arts but not a test in program so it was very basic.
Thank you for this feedback.

Some arts is their strength, we found band not very good. Classes are like any school, hit or miss depending on the teacher.
