[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A co-worker's kids are at Poolesville (mine are further South). Out in the boondocks they don't seem to have much of the mid- and down-county politics. He raves about the school constantly and I don't think his kids are Magnet. From a purely academic perspective, the school overall rivals Churchill in terms of non-Magnet performance and is consistently rated as one of the top HS in the county. Can't go wrong with Poolesville, imho. [/quote] #1 school in MD. In one of the past years, the ranking slipped because there was no records for kids doing grade level English and Math (Magnet and non-magnet both are usually accelerated) and only kids at grade level Math and English were SN kids in special programs, so US News assumed that majority of kids had not reached grade-level algebra and english. Watch out for this because this can happen again. School and MCPS need to proactively tell US News that the students in school are accelerated and have reached the milestones in middle school.
