Nope, but I hope this made you feel better!

What school? MCPS is big

You are lucky. We’ve had a very mixed experience but this post is lame.

Good riddance to you!!!

lol we had smoking in the senior lounge. We had a 20 yo on the football team. We didn’t even have many AP classes or an expectation to go to college.

Girls were raped on the regular at parties.

Same here. My disdain for MCPS leadership is one thing, but I've got nothing but love for the teachers and local admin staff.

All the best to you.

I can’t speak for OP, but I share her sentiment with MCPS. School staff? Always will be remembered fondly. My son had some incredible teachers and staff members care for him. We know who to blame for how things are now. It’s not those on the ground doing the actual work. Thank you for all you do. I know the job asks a lot of you all 🙏

Right there with you. Will be done in May. We moved here for the schools 10+ years ago, but now I tell my kids not to move back here if they have kids.

For those who think, nbd, it is a big deal. A large % of the student population are below level, yet, MCPS thinks taking away instruction days is a-ok. So much wasted money; focusing too much on DEI initiatives rather than academics (which is ironic given how not focusing more on academics mostly hurts URM kids).

So thankful to be done. 🙏

Ok?

Almost done with MCPS as my youngest nears high school graduation. This school system has really slid a long, loooooong way down in the last 20 years. I went through MCPS myself, too. The elementary schools are still excellent but middle and high school is literal crap. Just a real POS school system now. I know people complain constantly about MCPS and I **almost** hate to chime in but I really am looking forward to saying goodbye and waving goodbye to this crap school system.
