[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a current RM senior. I would definitely recommend RM as a public school, IB or not. Once of RM’s biggest strengths is its immense diversity. Your child will be able to find their own niche, whether it be among like minded people (there is a group of kids who wear tails to school and the typical “jock” group on Main Street, but they peacefully coexist and everyone just minds their own business), classes in interesting subjects, or clubs for hobbies or career interests. AP and IB classes are both rigorous in my experience, but I would say that the IB program has definitely done good things for me, like really pushing me to know myself and giving me the opportunity to explore more intellectually enriching curriculum that works better for me (I personally feel like AP is a lot of busy work and memorization, whereas IB is more application based as someone who has done both).

We have good school spirit, TERRIFIC location (going out during lunch and studying with friends afterschool at town center is very much a part of student life), a good education, and a fairly supportive and responsive administration.

I would say going to private school will deprive your child of the IMMENSE learning opportunities that comes with interacting with people of different cultures, SES, races, and background like there are at RM. No school is 100% perfect, but RM is a good option with a lot of opportunities. It’s just up to your kid to pursue those opportunities in the school. [/quote]
