The IB Magnet at Richard Montgomery high school is a four-year IB experience, which includes the Middle Years Programme in grades 9 & 10, followed by the Diploma Programme in grades 11 & 12. Students in the IB Magnet at Richard Montgomery are IB Continuum students, receiving the full benefit of IB teaching and learning during their years at Richard Montgomery. For more information about the IB Middle Years Programme, please visit our IB MYP page. The final two-year International Baccalaureate programme designed for students in grades 11 and 12 is the IB Diploma Programme.  [b]Additionally. While not all students who attend Richard Montgomery are in the four year Magnet, all RM students are eligible to participate in the full Diploma Programme offered at the school.[/b]

I knew what you were going to point me to. Let me contrast that with what RM cluster parents are provided with:

[quote][b]Pathways to IB[/b]

[list]#1 Students apply in grade 8 to enter the Magnet IB at RMHS in grade 9.
 [/list]
[list]#2 This pathway to the Magnet IB at RMHS is open only to students already enrolled in RMHS in grade 10. After students complete an application process that includes an application form, teacher recommendations, an MCPS transcript, and an admissions test, qualified students are selected to join IB in grade 11. [/list][/quote]

Please notice the difference in language to RM and non-RM parents. Also notice how the second bullet there says admission test which no longer exist after the new Principal came in.
