[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no point in applying to RM IB if you are Inbounds for BCC. Having said that I am sure someone wil contradict me [/quote]

RM has the two year magnet in 9th and 10th with only kids who were accepted to the application program.  They have all of their classes (aside from PE and an maybe and elective) with the smaller group of peers.  Also compare the diploma rates of the two programs if that is important to you.  [/quote]

I don't understand the point of this post.

Are you suggesting that it is worth it for someone who is in inbounds for BCC to commute to RM so they can have their classes with just IB-DP kids (who live all over the county)?

Are you suggesting that kid is more likely to end up with an IB diploma if they go to RM than BCC?

Both of those statements fall somewhere between suspect and crazy to me, but it is DCUM....[/quote]

They are differences between the two schools' IB programs.  The applicant would have to decide if it is worth it to them or not.   suspect and crazy?? [/quote]

Yes, but what is the relevance of the IB diploma rates?[/quote]

Some schools have IB programs with 95% diploma rates and some schools have 6% diploma rates.  Which would you choose if your child hoped to finish with the diploma?  Certainly worth looking at before deciding.

Because those stats definitely mean the same kid would be 10x more likely to get a diploma at one than the other. [/quote]

It likely means that it is a well-thought our program that helps the kids succeed.

What is the point of having a program, where kids have a 6% diploma rate?[/quote]
