[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is poolesville the wealthiest school in its region? I honestly don’t know. I am wondering if the poolesville magnet was meant to be like the Blair magnet — enticing kids to a poorly performing school so that the school’s test scores go up and it doesn’t look so bad (and so no one actually has to address the educational issues of gen pop).[/quote] Yes, it is by a large amount. Part of that may be due to the demographics of the out-of-bound magnet students, but I think by demographics of resident students it's probably the highest income as well. [/quote] So what was the original idea of putting a magnet at a high income school versus a lower income one (like Blair)?[/quote] To alleviate white flight and to reduce social-economic disparity. See wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_Blair_High_School (right under "Academics"). [/quote]
