[quote=Anonymous]I've had kids in PV-GE, RMIB, and PV-SMCS. Hands down RMIB is the better program and better overall school with a ridiculous amount of clubs, better sports, amazing theater, etc. That said, each kid ended up in the program that best fit them, even though they had a choice of multiple programs.

The new PV principal is a vast improvement over the previous one, but honestly, many of the supposedly amazing teachers really aren't that amazing. They [i]are[/i] good, but Poolesville's reputation is really just heavily reliant on the fact that half the population is magnet students, who will do well no matter what.

RMIB has a pretty competitive internal culture among the magnet kids. My DC thrived, but I can see how others would not.

I'm near Laytonsville - so it's a haul to both. I think my oldest would have had an all-around better high school experience at our home school in their advanced program. They would have stayed connected better with the neighborhood kids, done more sports events and activities, and in general been better connected to the school. DC #2 is loving it at RM, and thank goodness for them being able to drive themselves everywhere the past 2 years because I couldn't keep up with the activities. DC #3 is at PV now - a little more reserved than DC #1 & DC #2. Finding their spot at PV, but opportunities are just more limited. I was trying to put my thumb on the scale for DC #3 to pick RMIB, but it was so clear after the invited student events that SMCS was the best fit.

Most important thing is to let your child pick, and have confidence that they will do well in any program.
