Oh my God. Stop it people. Poolesville is awesome. So is Blair. Blair has wonderful achievements for sure due to it's long history of having an amazing math and science magnet program. Poolesville however, does well academically overall (rated #1) because [b]majority of its students (even without the magnet) are white.[/b] Less FARMS too. Both are good. Is that cool? Go upcounty and downcounty! Go MCPS![/quote]

ESPECIALLY without the magnet.

John Poole MS: 72% white, 10% FARMs
Poolesville ES: 66% white, 12% FARMs
Monocacy ES: 73% white, 18% FARMs

Which suggests that, without the Poolesville HS students who test in from outside the Poolesville cluster, the student population of Poolesville HS would be (1) more white and (2) more poor. (And much smaller - which is why the HS magnet program is located at Poolesville HS, i.e., there was space there, and it allowed Poolesville HS to stay open, since a ~500 student high school is not a realistic option in MCPS.)

Poolesville is in bad shape and rather sinking a ton of $$$ it would be better to shutter the place and put the magnet somewhere more central.[/quote]

Better for whom? And where are you going to put 500 Poolesville high school students, let alone three magnet programs?[/quote]

Downcounty parents don’t think upcounty deserves a magnet.[/quote]
