[quote=Anonymous][quote]If your child is coming in as a sophomore, I would probably recommend buying/renting in the BCC cluster. It has the best IB program after Richard Montgomery. Avoid Kennedy, as it has the lowest pass rates. If you google enough, you can find the pass rates for IB and AP exams at all MCPS schools. At Richard Montgomery, your child will be competing for grades with some of the best geniuses in the county and also competing for college admissions.[/quote]

I think it depends on what you want.

If you just want the IB diploma,  want the easiest coursework to get it and want to rank as high as possible then Einstein or Kennedy are better bets. You'll stand out if you pass, get the diploma and not have a huge workload. BCC offers an easy path too but there is much more academic competition there than at Einstein or Kennedy in terms of college competition. 
Its cheaper to live in Einstein or Kennedy so I don't know why you would pay BCC prices for an easier IB program.

If you want a challenging program with coursework more similar to what you see in non-US countries then go to RM. [/quote]
