| Can we perhaps make a list of good high schools in the area, any county, public and private, magnet, governor school. I’d like to know the options. We are looking to move in the future and high school is very important to us. Thank you |
Montgomery county public schools (MCPS). Plenty of options |
| No to private. We are at a private that is supposed to be one of the top in DC for being strong in stem and it is not. In fact, robotics club was listed but was not in place and was dismissively told I would have to find one myself. Apart from that, I would not suggest privates to be strong in that area. |
Can you please be more specific? What about Poolesville High School? I know it’s a magnet, but if you are zoned for the school (live in the area), can the kid go to the same program? |
Which private school is it if you don’t mind sharing? |
One of the boys Catholic in DC. The “rigorous” one. |
Definitely not boys Catholic for STEM. Not likely any private in the area. |
| Gonzaga, maybe for stem. The other Catholic, hard no. It’s a mess. |
| MCPS |
| Wheaton |

NoVa only has one STEM focused school? How.. sad. |
Poolesville HS is in MCPS |
There must be more, what about Marshall High or Chantilly? |
| Why does a kid need “a stem focused high school”? |
