[quote=Anonymous][quote=teluguru][quote=Anonymous]DP. Poolesville is #1 in MCPS and Maryland and #140 in the Nation. Yes, it's a long drive, so either stay at Clarksburg or buckle down. That's a personal decision for your kid. Whomever says Watkins Mill or Seneca Valley is a good idea is shilling you.[/quote] This is one of the criteria for me leaning towards Poolsville. Does studying in high ranking HS benefit during college admissions ? [/quote] No. And it can be harder to get into very selective schools because your are competing directly with other talented kids in the school. Poolesville is only high ranking because half the school is magnet kids. When you skim the top talent from other schools and then base ranking on number of AP courses, of course the school looks good on paper. I had a kid in Global and a kid in SMCS. The teachers were just as average as teachers elsewhere in MCPS (one or two were great, most good, are pretty bad).[/quote]
