[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think about how RMIB will impact college admissions, if that’s something you care about. IB is a ton of work in a highly competitive magnet program. AP gives a hard-working bright kid a lot of early impressive scores and lots of college credit at many schools ($$$). Think about whether his college application might be better from your home school. [b]There may also be questions re whether these programs all stay the next five years. [/b][/quote]

Aren't kids entering in fall 2026 the last group, if these programs go away or go in the form of regional programs?[/quote]

Yes but there is virtually no chance RMIB will go away entirely-- they really, really want to be able to make the claim "we're not destroying our flagship programs, we're just expanding them!". It will almost certainly continue as a regional program pulling from a smaller number of kids (at worst, the new classes might shrink a bit in size to reflect being regional rather than countywide.)

So this year's 8th graders would enter based on the current eligibility/candidate pool, and then the makeup of the school would shift gradually over the following 3 years until by their senior year they're the only ones under the original eligibility.[/quote]
