[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD got into RMIB, PHS SMCS, Ecology and Humanities. She likes both math and writing, currently does not have a clear preference at this time. I feel Ecology seems to have the best mix in terms of science and humanities, but DD does not like field trips. My son goes to SMCS and I feel 8th period is a bit too much. He is doing well but the course is rigorous to allow him to pursue other interests. MY DD likes to do theater. Do not know much about RMIB, but surely have safety concerns from what I read in this forum (gun, drugs etc). Would love to hear feedback on RMIB and Humanities programs. Does PHS Humanities allow kids to take technology/science courses? [/quote]

1. Poolesville has as many crimes as RMIB. Ie safety for your child is the same. In some ways worse. The bathrooms are dangerous for women. They have had quite a few issues over the years with zero accountability from MCPS. Drugs are extremely prevelant among the community. The program itself is good. However many of the great teachers stay a year or two and leave. Many are cast outs from other MCPS schools where principals push out poor staff. Poolesville is not any safer than RM. Just becasue it is out in the middle of nowhere just means they have different crimes. Guns are very prevelant as many families are farming/ horse owners or just want to own that is why they live out there. When your kid goes over to their home after school there will be guns. Poolesville is not diverse it is racist and antisemitic. Lots of good ole boys.

2. RMIB definitely different program than Poolesville. Not better academically just different. I prefer the structure of RM to Poolesville.
