[quote=Anonymous]DD attends RM and we have many friends who attend Rockville HS.  The families I know from both clusters are happy with the schools, however, one friend of mine who is Asian mentioned feeling alienated at Rockville HS because there are few Asian students there.  I think RM is a bit more economically diverse with high SES and low SES students, with more students on the high SES side of the spectrum.  I believe Rockville HS has more middle class students overall.

Overall, DD likes RMs competitive environment and while not in the magnet program plans to pursue an IB diploma.  She is a high performer, but not at the IB level, and enjoys hanging out and attending classes with students who are so academically talented.  RM seems to attract good teachers - at least she has liked all of them so far and they all seem to be well-qualified.  RM has a LOT of students - which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your child.  DD likes it, but some kids do better in a smaller environment.

Oh, in response to a PPs question, while I can't imagine choosing a high school based on the lunch policy, yes, RM has open lunch.  There isn't room for all the kids to eat in the cafeteria at the same time.[/quote]
