Stats[edit]

Can't we get anything but stats here? Willshepherdson 03:10, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the articles in Category:School_districts_in_Maryland, two are lists with stats, two are just lists, and only one, Baltimore_City_Public_School_System, is an article. Wikipedia is not a "mere collection of internal links", but including stats with the links is okay. --M @th wiz 20 20 00:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, MBHS is a magnet. Willshepherdson 04:40, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know. Just for organization, I erased all the "special programs" info (except for special ed schools at the bottom). I went through all elementary schools yesterday and will do middle and high tomorrow. --M @th wiz 20 20 01:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea Willshepherdson 01:40, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I most likely won't be able to update the chart until Friday due to time constraints, but you get the point. --M @th wiz 20 20 02:04, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stats has been updated to be current (2005-2006) year. SimsHsia ^{(Talk : Contrib)} 02:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Montgomery Village Middle School is in Montgomery Village, not Rockville. They did remodel it in 2001-2003 where students went to Tilden Middle School in Rockville, but that was only during that time. --Magriep 16:15, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This needs more....[edit]

I don't feel like you get much info about the county except hard data about the schools. I'll try to improve! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by VolunteerFD (talk • contribs) 02:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

feeding[edit]

Wouldn't it make sense to include which middle school each of the elementary schools feeds into, and which high school each of the middle schools feed into, in the table? john k (talk) 01:50, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see that this has still not been done. Sigh. john k (talk) 00:40, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

links[edit]

why don't we add links to each individual table of schools? This would make it more convenient for the user. --Skydude176 (talk) 13:19, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about collapsible lists? --Zed (talk) 00:50, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Error...[edit]

Bannockburn ES is listed as having some 53 million square feet or so. Is this an extra three zero's? --Zed (talk) 00:51, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Check Herbert Hoover Middle School's Consortia[edit]

I believe it feeds into multiple schools. Puppier (talk) 17:06, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

MCPS website[edit]

I noticed that there's nothing mentioning of the launch date of the MCPS website on this article. I believe it was launched on October 30, 1995. Roughly 20 years ago! I provided a link in my source, which stats all the way at the bottom of the MCPS website link I provided of its launch date I just mentioned. And I also want to state that it was released in 1995 thanks to Al Gore & Bill Clinton's national event, NetDay starting in 1995.

Odd response to a 3 yr. old post, but https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/ is a more modern site for their activities. We could use this to reference things about the school system. Neo^{(chat w/ me!)} 14:10, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

seems like weasel words here![edit]

"The board’s work is guided by its vision, mission, core purpose, and core values" doesn't mean anything! what *is* their vision, mission, and core purpose. What *are* their core values!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.31.15.173 (talk) 17:15, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
