There is definitely a rigorous academic culture in the magnet program and I'm so thankful to have met some of the most genuine, kind teachers I've ever had. The global ecology program has been so much fun! In my experience it's a close-knit community where most people know each other. One thing I'd like to see changed, though, would be improved infrastructure. The school building itself seems pretty old and poorly made. There also seems to be an insect problem and asbestos in the ceilings, but everyone's pretty much used to that.
I love poolesville high school for many reasons. Our diverse and rigorous magnet programs complemented with our large variety of clubs and sports make a fantastic educational experience. Our school spirit is unwavering and the student body loves to get involved whether it is with Student Government Association events such as Spirit Day or normal athletic games such as our football or soccer games. Though our school may not feel too segregated by grade level, it can seem segregated by magnet programs which is a shame and hopefully might be something that will change in the future. And of course, a few renovations to some dilapidated parts to our school would be appreciated!
Super unique, diverse, and memorable high school experience. Excellent school spirit and culture. The magnet programs can get pretty rigorous, which really helps prepare you for college. The only thing that really bothered me going there was how run down and dirty the building is. Problems with asbestos, plumbing, mold, etc. The school is basically crumbling before your eyes, but going there we joked that it just added to the character!
