I would say the same for RM.

Poolsville is a great school but it is not very diverse because the school is 3/4 magnet. The 1/4 is predominantly White and 3/4 is the usual magnet crowd.

Assumptions:
(A) Child will attend a regular program at the school (i.e., no application to enter)
(B) Considering only the CURRENT makeup and boundaries of the school

I would choose RM for the following reasons (in no particular order):
(1) IB program for 9th and 10th grades
(2) Numerous strong AP and IB classes for 11th and 12th grades
(3) Racial and ethnic diversity is representative of the county as a whole
(4) SES diversity is representative of the country as a whole
(5) Large student body, but all students came from the same middle school
(6) Strong school spirit
(7) Competitive environment, but not a pressure cooker
(8) Central location in the county
(9) Near a downtown area with public transportation

9th grade plus more spots open for 11th graders ..


My understanding is that 25 for 9th grade and then unlimited for 11th. Is that correct?

I chose to buy in the BCC cluster, because it was the best commute given my job in DC thus allowing me to spend more time with my kids. YMMV
