[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What?  Of course RM has kids from out of it boundaries?  And since RM has over 2000 kids it would be quite viable without the magnet...though I know that was not the case 30 years ago when it was added.[/quote]

What I intended to say was RM itself does not "allow" the OOB kids. Its based on an agreement with MCPS the magnet program takes the OOB kids, unless someone gets a COSA waiver.

As for RM being viable without the magnet kids, you are right about student strength. [b]It was a low-performing school about to close due to performance reason.[/b] So, I am not sure what its state would be without the magnet program now. However, if RM administration and parents feel they do not gain anything from the magnet program, they should ask the county to move the magnet program from its school to another school instead of trying to undermine it. May be RM-Cluster parents should push for that.[/quote]
No, the school was under enrolled. If it was ever a candidate for closing down, it was due to enrollment issues, not performance issues.  If a school district were to close a school for low performance, you'd see a lot more schools closing down all over the country.

The "state" of RM would be fine with IB magnet.  How do I know this? Look at JWMS performance.[/quote]
Sorry, that should read ""state" of RM would be fine withOUT IB magnet".[/quote]
