The school did not get rebuilt because of politics.  Being rural the population is sparse. Politicians do not want to allocate funds to win over a handful of voters.

I think there is a whole lot of envy because PHS has MC kids but is ranked as the top school in Maryland.  [/quote]

Which politicians? Are you saying that the Board of Education didn't vote for a total rebuild because there aren't enough voters in Poolesville?

Poolesville HS is ranked as the top school in Maryland because half of its students (the half in the magnet programs) are there because of their high test scores. If there were no magnet program, it would not be ranked as the top school in Maryland. That doesn't mean the teachers are better or worse, or the administrators are better or worse, or the facilities are better (they're not) or worse. or your individual child will do better or worse educationally. For people who are happy with Poolesville HS - yay! you're happy! Seems like that should be enough.[/quote]
