[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Richard Montgomery. With IB it is worse than Rockville and Magruder. Quince Orchard already surpasses it with IB. [/quote]

Agree! And their IB dept is not good. [/quote]

Is this information based on sound data? Their college admission numbers appear good.

My DS got into RMIB and we declined- staying at our W school and as parents we keep wondering if we made the right decision. For us, the fact that their CS dept was weak was a big deciding factor.[/quote]

Not sure which "W" school you're talking about, but I think you're fine if it was Whitman, (Winston) Churchill, Wootton, etc.

Rockville HS:
Graduation Rate: 83.9%
Attendance: 91.6%
Dropout Rate: 7.7%
College ready: 64.7%
% Graduates scoring 3+ AP / 4+ IB: 46.3%
Average SAT: 1003 (below both County and National averages)

RMHS
Graduation Rate: 94.1%
Attendance: 93.5%
Dropout Rate: <5%
College ready: 79.5%
% Graduates scoring 3+ AP / 4+ IB: 60.3%
Average SAT: 1236 (above both County and National averages, but not at Whitman, Churchill, Wootton, Poolesville-levels)

Go by facts, not what's posted here on DCUMS.  Just because an anonymous blogger says this or that doesn't mean it's true.[/quote]

Rockville HS has a lot more students who speak English as a second or other language, that’s why scores are lower.

The teachers are really strong. We are happy as Rockville parents. [/quote]
