[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op if you are still reading, Wootton is the right answer. No comparison between two unless your kid is accepted into IB.[/quote]
please.  The vast majority of kids at RM are not in IB, [b]and they do fine.[/b]

But, yes, if you want a pressure cooker environment with no diversity, choose Wootton.[/quote]

What does "they do fine" mean? I know we all have different expectations for our kids. At least "get accepted to UMCP" fine? Most non-IB kids have stats high enough for UMCP?[/quote]
Yes. Believe it or not, there is a contingent of UMC kids (white and Asian too!) who opted not to do IB. They are taking AP classes and will do fine after graduation.[/quote]

I believe it. I mean I'd not all that interested in IB courses and would also prefer to focus on STEM.[/quote]

LOL. Read results coming out of this thread

? What does that have to do with anything? Trust me - I know white, UMC kids from RM who have gone on to UMD and other good schools. The non-IB kids ARE NOT all gang members. [/quote]

Nobody anywhere in this thread has said that.

But, if you look at the RM stats without the IB, what the other PPs have said is correct.  RM without the IB is pretty much the same as Rockville HS, which isn't that great.

And, yes, admission into UMCP is already very competitive and will become even more so.  I'll be happy if my kid goes to UMD![/quote]
Not, it isn't.   Once again, RM has one feeder MS - JWMS, and it is a lot better than the one feeder MS to Rockville HS.  The vast majority of students at RM are not in IB.[/quote]
