[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- My kid was in Global and it’s a great program but how far is the commute for you?[/quote]

We live not too far from Shady Grove Metro Station. Both Blair and Poolesville are really far, and since the school bus stop is at the very end of the route, the ride takes forever. My kid takes the school bus to TPMS, and because it's the last stop, he doesn’t get home until 4:40 PM. Blair shares the same bus route as TPMS, so if he goes to Blair, he’d still be getting home at 4:40.

Since he gets home so late, it’s really hard for him to do any after-school activities. That’s actually one of the reasons I kind of regret sending him to TPMS.

I know Poolesville is the #1 high school in Maryland, but I’ve never met anyone who goes there, so it feels pretty unfamiliar. Honestly, I think Poolesville would be a better fit for my kid than Blair. He has a high MAP-M score (&gt;290), but he’s not really into math, engineering, or computer science. He’s way more interested in animals, insects, and the environment.
