Schools - MCPS

SBP is served by three Elementary Schools, with assignments based on home address. For middle school, the community is part of the Middle School Magnet Consortium (MSMC), with Argyle Middle School as the home-assigned school. At the high school level, it’s part of the Down County High School Consortium (DCC), with Kennedy High School as the home-assigned school.

Our Schools as Community Hubs

Our MCPS schools are more than places where students learn—they are community hubs connecting students and families with resources and support they need to thrive. Community partners help provide comprehensive services, link families to existing resources, and offer culturally and linguistically appropriate support.

Partnerships can include health and mental health services, social services, community education, food assistance, recreation, sports, and enrichment opportunities. These supports are designed to serve families at every stage, from prenatal care through high school.

Each school has a COMMUNITY SCHOOL LIAISON (CSL) working between MCPS and MCEA.

Many Community Schools accept gently used clothing donations in all sizes — adult and children.
