Howard county is the best!

Our students' mediocrity gives your kid a better chance of standing out!

Howard is better because it doesn't have all the self imposed problems that MCPS forces on itself. It doesn't have a screwed up curriculum that it wasted millions on and now has to replace quickly because the kids all have gaps. It never had the inane everyone gets a P grading system that MCPS had to dump. It doesn't have the weekly news study on another MCPS staff member using a kid. It doesn't have the same level of grade inflation or non-existent discipline policy. Its a very good and NORMAL school system.

Another plus is that if your child wants to go to UMD it will be easier coming from Howard County than Montgomery County. The W schools alone could fill up the incoming class at UMD. Combine that with kids in the magnets and other solid schools like QO etc and there is a lot of competition for the number of spots that can go to Montgomery County. Howard is much smaller.

No, but I moved to WV which is very similar.

Why even bother responding? You think moco has too many brown non English speaking people

When I am walking home from the metro and you are driving past my neighborhood with 45 min more to go, you can see least take solace in your neighbors' whiteness

BTW I hang out with my neighbors all the time

You know what’s boring? This thread!! You people insult each other like 3rd graders. Lame posts ever!

Can you explain what you like about Montgomery County? Why it isn't boring like Howard.

Is it all of the Thai restaurants, the nail salons, the insane traffic, the lack of English speaking humans, or the over crowded schools?

Some people like actual suburbs, having neighbors they can connect with, being halfway between two cities, and not having to take 25min to drive 2 miles.

You must be thinking of HoCo otherwise you have no idea what you're talking.

One HoCo school made the top 10 in the state and 2 in the top 20 while MCPS has 8.
Also living in HoCo, you might as well live in WVA... boring

Um, you realize that they rate those schools based on ESOL and FARMS? HoCo has gifted programs in ALL of their schools. MCPS buses them to lower performing schools to rank them higher. If you don't see the political gain in that, you are an idiot.

Once Montgomery County became a welcoming county to illegal immigrants, the system went down the tubes quickly.

Fool, you are doing HoCo any favors.
Even though MCPS has more FARMS and ESOL, it still has more schools rated in the top.
Idiot

Because the ratings are highly based on FARMS and ESOL.

You may want to check your grammar before your next retort. By the way, love the kindergarten jabs.

USNEWS top ranked is based on more FARMS and more ESOL? LOL
You’re too stupid and clueless

Lots of MCPS haters on this board like to pretend HoCo is perfect, but of course it's not.

Who here said it was perfect?

Is it better than MCPS? Yes and that isn't saying much

Only in DCUM fantasy land but in the real world, MCPS crushes HoCo

By sexual predator cover-ups?

Or

What?


You take the Asians and their test scores out of MOCO and it is literally PG County

You are too dumb
Asians have more effect in HoCo than MoCo.

?? Boring as in no shooting, no MS-13, no sex scandals at school?? Is that what you mean?

Moco has a gun violence problem? Not really

Besides Howard's monotony will kill your soul anyway
