Maryland survives off the largess of the federal govt...average income here is well beyond the national average. Most live here for the income... and if you live in Montgomery or Howard county, you have access to the best public schools in the nation.
The only reason the schools are “good” at all is because of the genetic load...highly educated parents. As the illegals and ferals have entered the system in great numbers over the last 25 years all scores have deteriorated. maryland is THE Freak state bar none.

And the indoctrination in liberal dogma is thrown in for free. Those are extremely liberal counties as you probably know. IMO the kids are going to get a one sided education greatly lacking in real critical thinking skills.
