[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poolesville is a whole school Magnet. Not sure what that means but perhaps parents from upcounty know more than me?[/quote]
Yes,  Poolesville is whole school magnet.
In Poolesville case you take exam to join the magnet program if you live in upper Montgomery County.
Kids who live in the school boundaries have a higher chance to be picked because they take 25% of the students from their own middle school and the rest of the kids can take magnet courses if their is space available.[/quote]
Huh? ??
No, Poolesville is not a whole magnet school. In-bound kids not in Magnet go there. Where do you think these kids go?
[/quote]

They go to their local high school, Poolesville HS, which is a whole-school magnet school.[/quote]
That makes no sense [/quote]

Why doesn't it?[/quote]

There are quite a few people on this board that don't understand that magnet doesn't equal test-in only.  If they would google/educate themselves, they would see that magnet means specialized curriculum not offered at typical public schools.
