[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a similar situation. My DC got into RM IB and Poolesville's math/science and humanities programs. We are trying to decide which of the 3 programs to choose. I looked at Poolesville's website and they mention that Poolesville is the best high school in Maryland and #64 in the US as per Newsweek magazine. Somewhere else I saw that the math/science program at Poolesville is the same as Blair's program and that the humanities program is similiar to RM IB program. We are not sure which one to choose. All all these programs are not very far from us.[/quote]

If you want a high school where your child will fit right in and be educated in a small town choose Poolesville.  Its a small school, the teachers know everyone's name, and there is a lot of individual attention.

On the other hand do not be influenced by Newsweek's rating or Matthews in the Post.  They are frauds.  Their "rankings" are based on how many students take AP classes vs. the number in the student body.  Its impossible to say that any school is #12 or #76542.[/quote]
