Poolesville was the last cluster in Montgomery County to have a middle school built. Until JPMS opened for the 1997–1998 school year, students in kindergarten through sixth grade attended Poolesville and Monocacy Elementary Schools, and Poolesville High School served grades 7–12 as a Junior-Senior High School.
[1]John Poole Middle School, more commonly known as JPMS, is committed to the education of young adolescents by providing a challenging interdisciplinary curriculum delivered through a variety of teaching strategies that incorporate family and community partnerships.
JPMS is a member of the Green Schools Program. Students work on environmental preservation projects and programs to reduce the school's environmental impact.
The school is named after John Poole, the founder of Poolesville, Maryland. The gymnasium, added to the building in 2000, is named in memory of Linda Fiore, the school's first principal.
