[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the posters bad mouthing PH are those who do not have high performing kids. These are lottery batch I am guessing?  No one in the previous years where admission was based solely on merit and tests, did not love PHS. I think its not a bad thing if students who do not really belong there return to their local HS.  Good for these students, and good for PHS too.

NP HERE. I think you are wrong to assume that they are not high performing kids. I have two children who have already graduated from smacs at poolesville, so I don’t have any skin in this game. There were a few teachers that were good, many that were Ok, and several teachers that were just plain bad (bad teaching styles, didn’t respond to emails or  students that asked for help, were waiting for retirement and already checked out). My children liked their fellow classmates and the bond they shared. Many times when the teachers wouldn’t teach, fellow students would teach each other. That’s what made the program, the camaraderie between the students. The school has a good reputation bc it’s a majority magnet school and bc magnet students will do good wherever they go. Teachers play a small part in that (some teachers none at all).[/quote]
