"All around strong performer"? Somehow I don't think that applies to City of Baltimore or Prince George's County, where poor teaching, lack of discipline and abysmal test scores are typical.

Of course it always depends on which rankings you look at and the criteria they use to rank (I don't put a lot of stock in any such rankings), but if you look at the US News rankings for privates, MD and DC privates are not in the top 10. The top privates according to US News are in the NYC area and Massachussetts.

If jobs are what attract you, then this upscale community close to our nation's capital offers the mother of all magnets.
The first step to getting a job is to visit a Casa De Maryland (CASA) Welcome Center. Their employment specialists help you find a job and don't give a hoot about your legal status. They will even help you acquire an IRS-issued taxpayer identification number because, of course, you're here illegally and not eligible for a real Social Security number. This powerful organization is truly the illegal alien Welcome Wagon with $16 million in assets, $4.9M of it acquired in 2010 from government contracts!
Don't worry about Secure Communities because the County recently opposed its implementation. And for college-bound illegal aliens, take advantage of in-state-tuition now that the state passed the Maryland Dream Act.
I know this seems really off-topic, but there must be a relevant point in here somewhere. Is your point that immigrants must be contributing to the success of Maryland schools?
I'm pretty sure that's not the point of this person's rant. He or she seems to think that illegal immigrants are taking all the great jobs in Montgomery County. You know, those jobs the Americans born here all want, like housekeepers and gardeners. But yes, it was very off-topic.

MD ranks #1 for several years running and during that time MCPS teachers have lost money in their paychecks. Nice.

BALTIMORE - Maryland public schools have been ranked first in the nation for the fourth year in a row by a leading education publication.
Education Week gave the state an overall letter grade of a B+ in its annual report, which analyzes state education policies and student achievement. Massachusetts, New York, and Virginia followed Maryland with a B average. The District of Columbia had a C- average.
Chris Swanson, vice president of editorial projects at Education Week, says Maryland "is an example of an all-around strong performer."
Maryland got its best grade for its early education programs and preparing students for college and jobs after graduation.
The rankings by Education Week have been promoted by Gov. Martin O'Malley and others who have pushed for more investment in education.
