ANNAPOLIS, MD (June 17, 2010) – Governor Martin O’Malley issued this statement today following Newsweek Magazine’s annual “America’s Top High Schools” issue, showing Maryland public high schools ranking first in the nation in college-level courses. Maryland ranks the highest of all 50 states in terms of the percentage of high schools offering college-level courses, and the number of students taking those courses.
“We have chosen as a people to invest in our public schools – in the future of our State – even when times are tough.
“We’ve challenged our students to perform to their potential, bringing advanced courses to underserved schools throughout Maryland. Even during these difficult economic times, we’ve continued to make record investments in new, state-of-the-art classrooms, integrating curriculum across all grade levels, and hiring and retaining the nation’s best educators. Newsweek’s ranking serves as yet another indication that our investments will be paying dividends for years to come.”

I guess Newsweek never visited Bowie high.
there definately are exceptions.haha
parkside administrators, especially the guidance counselors (BARNES IN PARTCULAR), are only there to collect a check. DOWN WITH GRUDIS !!!
10:23, get your facts straight. "Grudis" has been principal of Bennett for the past year. He was sent there to clean up the mess from his predecessor at JMB and to prepare staff and students for the move to the new facility. What, by the way, does your comment have anything to do with the main posting by Joe?
Who believes anything from newsweek?
Hey Grudis was the one who tried to make the kids stop wearing confederate flag t-shirts and got his a$$ handed to him by the ACLU for 1st amendment violations. Maybe he should try again at Bennett.
Grudis has been an outstanding educator for years and years. Goodness dont know why I get upset at some of these ridiculous postings.... I have to remember People crucified Jesus so what chance does anyone else have of pleasing the public?
