BCC and RM are the same in this regard. Yeah, some kids were passed out in the bathroom and there's drug dealing and use going on at BCC, but there are armed robberies and weapons showing up at RM. No MCPS high school is safe right now. |
Oh I know I even heard there are kids with knives running around Whitman and Churchill these days. Nowhere is safe, but drug problem at BCC seems out of control. |
I have a kid in RMIB and I’ll disagree. I mean, with the robbery in the bathroom recently and the rampant weed smoking. It’s not great. But I truly think that is the case at every single MCPS middle school and high school right now. |
All NMSF from RM are in IB |
ok, and ? We're not talking about NMSF. |
So the assumption that it’s the IB students who got in to top colleges from RM |
false |
ASSumption... need proof. |
Are you that weak logical thinking .. |
RMIB diploma rate was 92% when Jennifer Hoover was the IB coordinator. As soon as she left, it dropped to 75%. Worldwide, IB diploma rate is 60%. Even in Europe. |
Every single public school in DC, VA and MD has it share of riff-raffs. This is a reflection of society. MCPS has a huge share of illegal immigrants to from south of the border, so it impacts who is in the schools. Of course, once the kids are in this country they need to be educated. However, it makes sense to have younger kids put in regular ES for assimilation with ESOL support but teenagers who are basically illitrate when they come to US need to be all put in a different dedicated school so that they can get educated in more intense manner. |
? you're numbers are totally off. 2022 RMIB diploma rate is 98%. Prior years has been at least 90%+. |
That's a bit calling the kettle black. You have zero proof that non IB students aren't getting into top colleges. |
