How exactly would the bar be getting lower across the entire county? You must not be used to hearing good news about a school system in this area. Sorry.

I really am not. Only news I hear from PG county is always bad news. Glad to hear kids are improving.

What bad news is this?

Take your pick. Bad news from PG county is not hard to find. Just go to local news website.

It's not that hard to graduate. You just need to show up... Test scores and grades means more to me than graduation rate going up. Pg county schools have always sucked and will always suck.

^ i think you need a chill pill.

Fantastic!
I live in Anne Arundel and was sad to see Kevin Maxwell go, but I'm so glad things are improving in PG County. There's a lot to be said for a leader who grew up there and lives there and has real ownership and pride in the area.

Then you must be referring to the United States as whole because those numbers mirror the country average. BTW these numbers represent 4 year graduation rate, if you apply the 5 year rate and GED's its actually higher

I'd rather be in an area where the schools are making big gains than one which is getting worse.

Hint hint.

20% of kids don't even graduate HS, and you guys are happy? So sad.

Good to hear!

Excellent! Congratulations to the superintendent! I hope that this is a sign of things to come!!
