[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you care about college outcomes at all, I would say the non-IB kids generally do not get into a top 20 college. There is a good bit of cross-IB/non-IB friendships that develop, mostly through sports or certain extracurricular (drama, for example), but otherwise a lot of the IB cohort stick together outside of school.

Most kids, of any sort, anywhere, do not get into a "top 20" college. Or even apply.

If you want your child to get into a "top 20" college, your chances are better at a high-poverty school with less competition.[/quote]
+1 how many W kids get into the elite univ?  Not *that* many.  Also, just because some kids in W schools do get into top colleges, it doesn't mean OP's kids will just by osmosis. Doesn't work that way.

There are lots of smart kids at RM who are not in the magnet program. As stated, many don't join due to other commitments.  Those kids also get into great colleges.

RM non IB doesn't have the pressure cooker environment that some of the W schools have, but at the same time there are a lot of kids who do well academically.

There are several students who go the dual enrollment route with MoCo CC, which is very close to RM.
