The Pocomoke Public Eye says: 

We asked AI how Pocomoke ranked in the national competition and was given the following reply.

Pocomoke High School did not "place" in any ranking because the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program is an honor-based recognition rather than a ranked competition.

Instead of competing for numerical places (like first or second), schools are nominated and evaluated against strict criteria to either receive or not receive the designation. Pocomoke High School successfully earned the prestigious Blue Ribbon School designation during the 1999–2000 state cycle and was formally recognized as a national recipient in 2001.

'New normal' for Chesapeake's struggling rockfish?

 

For the eighth straight year, Maryland scientists found well below average numbers of young rockfish in the Chesapeake Bay.

This summer's survey, released Monday, showed the best results since 2018, the last time that surveyors counted an above-average quantity of juvenile striped bass, or rockfish. But with “young of the year” index of 5.5 this year — compared to a historical average of 10.8 — Maryland scientists aren’t really celebrating.
