[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Real-estate agents try to spin this to inflate housing prices, but of course, RM is the same as any other MCPS HS. The same kid will do as well as they would anyplace else. The differences aren't the school but the home life and parents.[/quote]

Op here. Thanks to everyone for their feedback. Lots to think about. 
[/quote]

Good luck. Select wisely. [/quote]
Yes, just read some of the stereotyping some anti-RM posters have of a diverse school.   [b]Too many of "those" kids.[/b]

That's the kind of folks your kids would be exposed to - people who stereotype an entire school and the families who go there based on what they hear about but probably have zero experience in.

No one said RM is perfect, but some anti-RM posters are seriously clueless about the student body at RM.[/quote]

That's said by both sides - one referring to blacks/latinos/lower SES at RM and the other referring to Asian kids/higher SES at Wootton. I don't think one is necessarily better than the other[/quote]
uh.. really? [b] That's not what dcum says.[/b]
[/quote]

Yeah really. [/quote]
