[quote=Anonymous]There are 4 houses or programs.  One is non-magnet called ISP or Independent Study Program and is open to the local poolesville students. The curriculum offered is very similar to what is being offered to HS students all over MCPS.

Three of these programs are test-in magnet programs.   Two of the magnet programs (Science, Math, Comp. Sci or SMACS  and Humanities) are for upcounty students and are  sister programs to Blair HS SMACS and Humanities programs which are for downcounty student.  The third magnet program is Global Ecology and open to all students in the county who have to apply through a rigorous test in application process.

In short, 3/4 of the school is magnet and students have come to these programs primarily from outside of Poolesville. For most of these students a significant part of the school day goes in the commute. Still the magnet programs are worth it and because the school is 3/4 magnet kids the environment is very focussed on academic.   A lot of "other" issues that is prevelant in other MCPS schools is thankfully absent because most of the kids are there to study.

It has terrible school buildings and infrastructure.  It looks worse than a school in a third world country.  It is the pride of MCPS though.
