Howard County? Sure

Columbia? Doubt

You know what? I initially read the statement "Howard County Public Schools in Columbia, Maryland" as the location of the Board of Ed or something. But I just looked it up and Board of Ed is in Ellicott City. So I'm not fully understanding this statement.

My overall understanding is that they mean HoCo as a whole and not specifically the schools in Columbia

I had a pretty good time with Hammond and they were very supportive of me, lots of friends at atholton would say the same

I'm sure plenty of kids did, and they're fine schools overall. But the article named Columbia specifically when crediting Howard County. HCPS rank as the best district in the state in spite of most schools in Columbia.

In addition to most schools in Columbia*. The quality of education in Howard County regardless of school, location, etc., is still so much higher than many others in the state.

What are you basing this on?

Edit - asking bc most school districts in Columbia are at or below the average for the state in graduation rate and college readiness. I wouldn’t call that a top MD program.
