[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The magnet programs are about half of the student body. The school is about 1,200 students(most MCPS high schools are around 2,000) so it is relatively small. The magnet program students tend to be separate from the local kids called ISP students(the program for the local kids), though [b]many of the local students are in a magnet program which allows much mixing[/b]. It is a great school especially if your child is a top student. But, many local students don't do well at the school since they are at the bottom of many of their classes which is a similar problem some people have with sending their kids to competitive schools like Wootton. The environment at the school is pretty competitive but is still positive. It is a top ranked school too. [/quote]

Yes. A lot of families with highly gifted students move to Poolesville because they are then assured of a place in the school and are not subject to the MCPS attempts to choose race over merit. In recent years many Asian and White families have moved there from other parts of the county to avoid falling victim to the misguided attempts of MCPS to put race above merit. for magnet admissions.

Race has always been confused with merit in this country. Now that brown is seen in a positive light all of a sudden you have a problem with it? Don’t worry white kids still have most of the legs up in life.[/quote]
