[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're laid back but your kid loves school, take a look at Rockville in the Richard Montgomery district. Perhaps unpopular by DCUM standards but could be a good fit.

- Affordable compared to W-schools in MCPS, and a lot more rental options/apartments 
- Could be in a walkable neighborhood close to the metro. Not close to the same as being in DC, but kids have a lot more freedom
than in many of the suburban areas. 
- It's too late for your kid to apply to the IB magnet program for freshman year, but they'd still have access to lots of the classes (as well as lots of APs), and if they want to do the diploma programme they can apply for junior year. All academically capable in-bound students can do MYP in 9th and 10th, and then apply to do the diploma programme with the magnet kids junior and senior year. 
- Solid performing and visual arts [/quote]

Also incredible bagpipe band.[/quote]

That's Rockville HS, not Richard Montgomery HS (and the pipe band hasn't been affiliated with RHS for years now).

If buying in Rockville, I would avoid Rockville HS.

Obviously Niche ratings are far from perfect etc etc, but it's hard to discount that by their account Richard Montgomery is #8 in the state public school rankings and Rockville is #39. There are reasons for that 30-spot difference. [/quote]
