[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of comments regarding Blair on this forum, and not much about Poolesville… Should a high achiever 8th grader consider Poolesville magnet as a possible option for high school? What’s the hype about it?[/quote]

I think that if OP is looking at Blair and Poolesville they are talking about Global and not SMCS. Global is an incredible program with incredible teachers.

Global was great for kid #1. SMCS teachers were mixed bag for kid #2, and I agree that they heavily relied on the kids just bring sharp and able to figure things out together.

Also the school is NOT well integrated. Each of the magnet houses are scheduled on scheduled on their own, and then the rest of the general courses added around those templates. You may think you’re taking APUSH mixed with everyone, but actually you end up in classes with kids in your same house. Also, the clubs tend to be siloed by magnet program. The main crossover between the magnet program students and the “townies” happens on the sports teams.

There are some good threads from the past (pre-Covid) that still have relevance.[/quote]
