[quote=Anonymous]Blair SMCS is intense, competitive and not super social. It’s not that the kids are unfriendly… they just may not prioritize social bonds and hanging out for fun. Also kids are spread out distance wise making it harder to get together outside of school. It’s all about fit for the right kid.  Yes, changes coming up- that’s the wild card no one can give definites about.

Poolesville SMCS is intense also but overall a more social friendly place. Plus there are other magnet programs at PHS so the kids make friends outside of SMCS too. The other programs are super social and collaborative and I think that mentality/energy rubs off on the SMCS kids there. Some kids even have boyfriend/girlfriend in other programs at PHS.

Basically it all boils down to fit. Go in with eyes wide open and choose best fit. Don’t assume it’s not tough and then be overwhelmed or surprised. None of the programs are a pipeline to any particular college. So go for the HS experience, not because you think it buys you a ticket to some particular college.

Good luck![/quote]
