https://www2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/rmhs/ib/magnet-application-information/ "98% of the RMIB Class of 2022 Earned the IB Diploma!" Some of this may be due to covid and virtual learning. I think some of the IB diploma requirements were lowered due to covid. But I don't think RMIB diploma rate has ever been below 90% in the past few years, especially if you only look at the magnet cohort and not those who join at 11th grade. But even with that cohort, thee diploma rate is higher than 85%, I believe. |

Do you believe everything you read on the internet? That is some random private website run by a company with clear profit motives. |

That list shows the average points, not the diploma rate. yes, they have high average points, but you don't need those high points to get the diploma. I'm sure those schools all have high diploma rates, too. But the list doesn't indicate the diploma rate. Also, many of those schools are private and have much smaller class sizes than RMIB. |

+1 that site is for private independent schools. It does not include public schools. This is an example of someone googling and pasting the link without fully reading what the site is about. "About IB Private Schools " |

oh, just realized, that link is for only private schools. |

| As selective as the RMIB program may be, the programs in Europe (the few I know well) are more so. They admit fewer students after the first two years of high school. We’re not comparing apples to apples here. |

It’s not really a crap shoot. Kids who are exceptional academically all-around will get in. |

The schools listed are ALL private schools! |

And yet, as an MCPS public high school, the IB Diploma rate was 98%. I’m no MCPS cheerleader, because MCPS does a lot of crazy things. But that’s pretty good. Especially considering it’s not a private school limited to wealthy families. |

They are private schools that offer the IB program. RMIB is not private so not included and also much much bigger. |

RMIB takes 100 students from a pool of 8000. Typically only 800 apply, but half of those kids have perfect stats and are at the top of their class. |

Also they academically crush any of the elite privates around here. |
