[quote=Anonymous]Kid is in SMCS magnet and we commute to Poolesville for school for an hour each way, every day.  It is an excellent and caring school.  Mostly middle class and people are not terrible like W school crowd. Supportive environment.

Non-magnet kids in ISP are also a bunch of really good, academically strong and well rounded  kids and many of them cherry pick the magnet classes too.  Some choose not to be in magnet programs because they excel in their EC activities and are competing at really high levels. So it is intense on some level for everyone.

If you like the woodsy and remote feel of Poolesville, I would buy a house in a heartbeat there.  It is a very small and quite community.

Remain involved with the school and make sure that you touch base with counselors throughout the year. They are excellent resource for your kid to customize the best path for them because they are seeing all kinds of pathways in SMCS, Humanities and Global kids and so they are very well aware of many options.

Caveat - it is a really old and sucky building. They are not getting a new build because this is upcounty and not Bethesda and that is really sad. They will get renovation only and that is very disappointing.  Front office staff is really nice, friendly and welcoming. It is a town and school out of 1950s. Principal seems to be good too but COVID handling was an issue recently because of weird MCPS policies. [/quote]
