[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Above poster correct. RM's math/science higher than other schools EXCEPT BLAIR! And RM's comp Sci offerings a joke compared to Blair.[/quote]

You mean the Blair and Poolesville Math in the SMACS program is the most rigorous in MCPS. I assume it is comparable to what TJ offers.

RMIB kids take the AP Calc (bc) and IB Calc exams, and score well in them.   So, not shoddy in my opinion.  No, RMIB is not known for its Comp Sci offerings. However, it has a more well rounded education because STEM and Humanities both are covered.  I am sure CAPS offers some unique Humanities courses for its students, just like SMACS offers some unique STEM classes. So, all these programs will appeal to different students.

I wanted my child's HS education to be balanced because I feel that once in college they have to decide on a major anyways.  However, what if you have a kid who loves STEM or Humanities above everything else and SMACS and CAPS speak to them? You should let the child choose.[/quote]
