Confusing title and article because it's about ratings, not "rankings".

The biggest flaw in the state rankings is that EML students end up effectively counting in multiple categories. The increasing EML population is a big impact. Yes, many EML students also qualify as FARMS, but many do not. MoCo has always been the destination for many families serving the embassies. As our diversity has grown, we attract immigrants from all around the world and their children are getting great educations. It just doesn’t get captured they way the state tracks the data.


Is EML the English learners (formerly known as ESL)?

I disagree with bolded. My kid is at an elementary with a 5/5 stars. It's atrocious. We're applying for privates for next year. So yea. Disagree that the county is providing quality education. It fallen so, so far.

Huh?


It's a bad look when people from the rich side of the county pick on people from the poor side of the county.

Yes publics are for the impoverished, overwhelmed or confused families.


It’s sad because it wasn’t always this way in the United States. I’m from another country and I always felt that the US public education system was quite strong. I firmly believe that education is an equalizer and a good public education system is essential.

The country I come from has mostly poor people in public schools, which wealthy families pay for private. It’s a sh$tty system that keeps certain families down.

I hope the US can fix its public education woes. My kids are in HS and we have stuck with MCPS but have watched its decline.


Not sure if this is masterful satire or a hilarious lack of self awareness and critical thinking
NP. What do you disagree with there?

The county rolls out the carpet for illegal immigration, they're all poor, and now schools qualities decline. Totally predictable. Now people with means will flee and hasten the decline of the county.


Disagree.

Nothing about the schools changed, really, for people who are buying property in these zones. Sadly, actually, for white and asian kids, the scores dropping actually indicate BETTER academic experiences for them, because the scores dropped due to underperforming minorities and inequitable discrepancies (of which the sample size is small for Ws). If you're a white or asian family looking for a safe bet for your kid, these new ratings indicate the schools that dropped from 5s to 4s are better for your kid, not worse. I'm not saying this is good or fair but I am saying this will not affect property values.



Nope. All people will look at are school score and see MoCo schools in decline because the county is becoming more and more impoverished. People with means will flee. They always do.

That isn’t a list consulting how MCPS rankings have changed. It’s the listing for each school. The article is unhelpful as it doesn’t share which 13 schools declined and you’re expected to search for them.
