Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Rockville District Curriculum
The Middle School Reform Initiative within MCPS has been working to improve the academic program for middle schools and meet the needs of students from diverse backgrounds. The changes in the Middle School program look to address problems in curriculum, instruction and assessment, leadership, additional opportunities for learning, communication and the need for more community involvement. The curriculum focuses on Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, Physical Education and Health, and the Arts.
The High School Program at MCPS is based on the Seven Keys to College Readiness or the High School Keys to Success Initiative. In order to be ready for college placement a student needs to successfully pass Algebra II by the end of 11th grade.
