[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving to the area. Don’t know where to start. 2 bright kids. One into sports. One a theater/ music / creative type. One on the spectrum. Both iffy at math. Where do we begin figuring out where to buy or rent?[/quote]

Einstein and Blake are schools that have a good reputation for theater/ music / creative types.[/quote]
[b]Richard Montgomery HS has the oldest, and most prestigious theater program.[/b]

They produce some really great shows.

RMHS also has the IBDP program for in cluster students, and RMIB magnet program that RM students can also apply to or join in 11th.

I don't know that much about their sports programs, but recently, I think some of their sports teams won regional and/or state.[/quote]

This is a very weird comment. How does one define the "prestige" or even determine the "oldest" theater program?

Honestly, I've seen shows all over the district and would not say that RM is better or worse than anyone else. Whitman has a beautiful physical space and kids with tons of talent/training, Blair has enough kids to put on a spectacle and does it well, B-CC consistently pushes the envelope, Blake shows are always very well-produced, and RM is also great but not head and shoulders above.

But...prestigious? I guess you could go by Cappies wins, but honestly NoVa schools have dominated in recent years and RM certainly has not stood out among MCPS schools. [/quote]
