[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re zoned for QO currently and also in all of the newest proposed boundary options, so the boundary changes might not impact us negatively at all, but the proposed regions for special programs puts us in a very weak region and will cost us access to Poolesville, which is a very unwelcome change. I’m not sure if/how soon that might impact real estate prices in our neighborhood. It makes me nervous, but I’m planning to sell before the changes go into effect, so hoping there won’t be much of a price drop.[/quote]

Poolesville? 
You should move because if you think Poolesville was ever a good option you have no idea what a good HS is.[/quote]

Pretty sure the magnet program at Poolesville is pretty darn good.  It does not seem like the OP was talking about the regular school environment there.[/quote]

Sure only in the reality of the minds of the dumb parents. People need to understand the history of magnet programs. Poolesville magnet isn't any better than other traditional HS experience in MOCO. It's a joke. Love that parents think their darlings are so smart for getting in.

Magnet programs are to racially balance schools nothing more. [/quote]
It’s amusing that you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about, but call other people dumb. I have two kids in high school, one at our local school and one in a criteria based magnet program at Poolesville. There’s a huge difference between the two experiences. The town of Poolesville is largely white and low FARMs rate. It’s rural and has a small population. It was turned into a nearly whole school magnet to fill the school, not to reduce the school’s poverty rate or make the school racially balanced. It’s not all that racially balanced now.[/quote]
