8. Blair
9. Quince Orchard
10. Northwest[/quote]

how does Niche rate schools? doesn't it rely a lot on surveys?[/quote]

There is no way Poolesville ranks above the next three by any credible metric.[/quote]

+1. Poolesville, what a joke.[/quote]

Hard for some people to admit that a school in upcounty of all places is better than the coveted Ws.[/quote]

It's far more plausible that Poolesville is #1 than either Churchill or Whitman in the top five. Seriously, Whitman is one of the lowest ranked schools in the count and is a GS 4.[/quote]

Whitman isn’t a gs4, it is an 8. It has a test score rating of 4 due to PARCC results which are strange seeing that it also has the highest SAT scores in the state and DC metro excluding TJ[/quote]

The GS website lists Whitman as a 4.

You must have gone to a silver spring school, 8 is greater than 4

7. BCC- 9/7/10
8. Damascus- 8/7/9
9. Clarksburg 7/7/8
10. Northwest- 8/6/9

RM's ratings are 7/6/8
