[quote=Anonymous]My son is a local student and a magnet student as well.
He finds the school rigorous but I bet he’d be able to find a similar academic experience at many other local HS.   He’s in Global though and loves the field trips. He’s also advanced in math and CS so maybe he will take higher level math/CS classes than other schools offer.  He’s surrounded by a very strong peer cohort which we love.

It used to be that PHS reserved many seats for local students that’s not the case anymore. Perhaps 10-15 students per year from the middle school go magnet.

There are a lot of high performing kids not in magnet too (including some of my son’s friends). My older one graduated from PHS magnet and is attending college where she met her boyfriend who went to a “bad” MCPS high school with a super high FARMs rate and he’s doing great (straight As in a tough STEM major at UMD).

Poolesville is good for the peer group/program. If you choose it, choose it because it offers your child something special for your child now not for bragging rights or whatever.

Also, a lot of UMC families are moving into Poolesville. It’s changed a lot in the last 10-15 years. If you have a regular kid who is interested in sports, it’s a great school and most teams are walk-on.

I haven’t heard much in the way of bullying. Seems like people do their thing and generally leave others alone. It’s a great school environment and I highly recommend it.
