[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of diploma scores do the kids get?[/quote]

https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/schools/rmhs/ib/2017-18%20IB_Insert.pdf

From above link... 88% of Richard Montgomery's 161 IB candidates in 2017 earned the IB Diploma; (The average worldwide success
rate is approximately 79 %.); RM Diploma Mean Grade 5.18 (4.8 worldwide); RM Diploma Mean Points 33 (30
worldwide).

When my kid graduated a few years back, there were only about 120 kids and diploma rate was much higher - 95%+. Looks like the program is bigger now and the rate has dropped. Not sure what  happened. [/quote]
They let in more RM cluster students who couldn't hack it?  It used to be 25?  set aside seats for RM cluster students who had to go through a similar application process but not compete with the rest of the applicants for the same seats, but I think now they upped the number of seats open to in cluster student.   From what I heard, RM Principal wants to encourage more in cluster students to  join the program.  I'm fine with this as long as they don't dumb the program down.

I live in the RM cluster btw.  And yes, I'm hoping DC will try it out. [/quote]
