Education

Why is the fact about a Catholic school in the section? Why mention catholic schools and not other religious schools like Gesher jewish day School, I live in the county and never heard of any of the Catholic schools. The section should be about general education information in the county, like how FCPS is in the top 30% of schools district in the country why is that not mentioned but a fact about a Catholic school I may not care about, and not mentioning how the school district is one of the best in the nation?

Census data table removed.

I really don't see how removing the Census data table was even necessary. SSoto21 (talk) 15:44, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Very strange move and uncommon if not unprecedented. 24.47.55.192 (talk) 14:00, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the IPs edit, because most of the sources were dead links, without noticing this discussion. I believe User:Keystone18 may have deleted the table here in error. I'm going to self revert for now. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:30, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
