[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is in 8th grade. She wants to go to the IB program at RM. She enjoys english and history class but doesn't like math. She also really enjoys her foreign language and she skipped level 2 of the language. Her spring map r was a 262 and her fall was 253 (don't know what happened there). Her extracurriculars are okay (should have pushed her more lol). However, I have heard that this program is very stressful and has a lot of work. It is also very hard to get in. Do you think it is a good fit for her and what are her chances of gettting in? (I'm hoping for at least 70%). [/quote]

The chances are slim. These decisions are random. Even if your child is a great fit, I wouldn't count on it.[/quote]

OP, the IB diploma is offered at all these schools: B-CC, Einstein, Kennedy, Richard Montgomery, Rockville, Seneca Valley, Springbrook, Watkins Mill. Your child can attend any of these schools and can obtain the IB diploma.[/quote]

You should work for MCPS communications. They will love you. Of course OP's kid can not just randomly attend any of these schools. MCPS loves to talk about their various programs and course offerings, but, if they are not at your in-bound school you are unlikely to be able to access the program.[/quote]

No kidding. I was stating the high schools that have these programs IN CASE OP is inbound or in one of the schools that feed into a regional program.  My point is RM is not the only way to get the diploma. In fact, there's a high likelihood that OP's daughter will get in through one of these means:

- Einstein:  If you live in the DCC, you can choose Einstein as your HS to get into the IB program 
- Kennedy: application only for students whose homeschool is one of the following: Churchill, Whitman, Walter Johnson, DCC- Blair, Einstein, Northwood, Kennedy, Wheaton, BCC
- BCC: open to all students 
- Rockville: open to all students 
- Seneca Valley: open to all students 
- Springbrook: application only for students whose homeschool is one of the following: Magruder, Rockville, Sherwood, Northeast Consortium (NEC)- Blake, Paint Branch, Springbrook
- Watkins Mill: Clarksburg, Damascus, Gaithersburg, Northwest, Poolesville, Quince Orchard, Seneca Valley, Watkins Mill, Wootton[/quote]
