[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in Region 1, so not familiar with this part of the county, but yes OP, it does seem inequitable to me looking at it as an outsider.

Regions 5 and 6 could be combined to be one large region so all students could access the existing strong programs at Poolesville.

and/or

1 or 2 of Poolesville's 3 magnets could be moved to different, more centrally located high schools - Northwest, Seneca Valley?

I know the argument is that Poolesville "has" to host so many programs because it's a huge school with low in-boundary enrollment, but then.... redraw the boundaries? This is not that hard.[/quote]
I’m not totally familiar with the geography out that way either, but I believe Poolesville borders the Agricultural Reserve, so it’s not like there are lots of nearby communities that could be rezoned to Poolesville High School without giving kids a significant commute. People are willing to make that commute for the special programs, but who want to make the commute for ordinary classes?[/quote]
