magruder was never a great school and it’s still pretty high on the new list. When I went there from 89-93 it was probably 75% white now it is plurality Hispanic. I am Jewish and there were only a handful of us must be even fewer now

yes, when it first opened, it was a very nice school inside and out. aside from the brand new building, it was part of a very nice community with fantastic teachers, dedicated students and good administration. it had strong technology classes (for that time). i dont know where it ranked in the early 90s and where it ranks now, but they have an IB program and there have been several wmhs students with accolades such as bethesda magazine's extraordinary teens and some others. montgomery village has changed some, but most communities have in the last few decades.

does kehilat shalom still exist down the road or has the area changed too much?

I'm pretty sure that we know what the OP means by "decline".

Many of the DCC schools could be in the running, though I'm not sure we can compare 1960s and earlier to today very easily.

From the CIP:

Poolesville High School
Capital Project: A major capital project is approved for this school to address various building systems and programmatic needs for this school. The scope of the project will be determined during the 2018–2019 school year. An FY 2020 appropriation is approved for planning to begin the architectural design for this project. A completion date will be determined in a future CIP.

It's a GS 9 overall, and a 7 for test scores. And GS ratings are of questionable value in the first place, and are in no way comparable to whatever research was done by a magazine FORTY-NINE years ago.
