[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you throw out the IB program RM is just average.  There is zero school spirit and the athletics are poor.

On the other hand Quince Orchard is the closest to the ideal American high school that you can have.  They have the best school spirit in the county, the academics are fantastic, and the sports program is top notch.[/quote]

I've posted on the Wootton threads about QO. I'm in the Wootton cluster right now but would prefer QO. However, I think RM is Avery good school. School districts often collocate magnet programs at underperforming schools in order to get the school's overall stats to improve. Usually this doesn't help the non-magnet part of the school, but in RM's case, I think it's really helped improve the non-magnet portion as well. I probably prefer QO over RM, but only slightly. I'd prefer either over Wootton.

I say this as someone with kids in elementary and middle school, and hearing what my neighbors and coworkers have gone through with these respective high schools. QO and RM offer a wide range of academic flexibility and social circles for kids. So if you don't know precisely what type of student your younger child is, the chances of fitting in and getting a good education are better, IMO, at with RM or QO than at Wootton, which doesn't seem to offer much unless your child is the best of the brightest.
