[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RM without IB is pretty average. It's going to be even more ordinary due to IB program trying to take more students from home school in RM.

Sounds harsh but I think this sums it up pretty well. Without magnet IB, I don't see any significant difference between two. [/quote]

This is a very lackluster view because it doesn't go into any depth. RM is a very weird dynamic if you break it up by ES. At the ES level, there are currently 3 (soon to be 4) high-performing schools and one average. When they combine at the middle school level, performance is above average. You an draw a lot more conclusions from the JW side than the RM side.[/quote]

[b]There was a thread to calculate average SAT score without IB for RM. [/b]Look it up and see where it puts RM without IB. I am aware of JW doing better and I did ask this to 2 principles of ES in this cluster.

MCPS is still able to push kids when they are young, it falls apart by the time they reach HS. External influence takes over and MCPS is not able to do the same job with HS kids. That's what both told me. I am not sure if it's 100% true, but just repeating whatever I heard.[/quote]

Yes, I can't remember which thread but I do remember the "estimated" avg for RM (excluding IB) was about 1450 (based on old 2400 SAT) about 700 or so lower than IB avg. No different than typical MCPS HS such as Rockville, GHS and such[/quote]
