[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of grades do average studentss at RMIB get?  We are curious how stressful it is at the magnets.  Seems like kids are also self-studying for AP tests?  Do teachers or the program help support the students with these, or do most kids skip the AP tests and just take the IB tests that are administered at the end of 11th/12th grade?

Program is extremely stressful.
RMIB kids do take AP and IB exams (mine took 16AP exams plus 6 IB).
RMIB kids do self-study some AP exams.
Most kids are crazy self-driven. [/quote]

This sounds INSANE! is there a mental health crisis among the kids? [/quote]

I've had two do the IB program. Neither took or will take 16 AP exams, more like 8-10 APs. There are some who do, but many of them don't. The 6 IB exams are required for the diploma program. Both are A students (partly due to grade inflation in some classes) but did get Bs in their classes for occasional quarters.

Both my kids didn't have a ton of extracurriculars and made time for a social life. Maybe they're not the "norm", but I really don't know since they hung out with kids more like them. They both are good at managing time and learned not to procrastinate.

They're not gunning for the Ivies, Stanford, MIT, etc, b/c they don't have a chance. But they are getting an excellent education and are prepared for college![/quote]
