[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at Rockville.

Pros—it’s nice to be at a small school because you have more chance to get on the sports teams and you can always get into clubs. It is a nice community—when I volunteer the students are incredibly polite. I have one kid in IB and they enjoy it.  Academically you can shine in a smaller school (big fish, small pond).

Cons—the sports teams quality vary because they’re pulling from a smaller population of possible good athletes. Some sports have to actively recruit when numbers are low. This can be great for kids who want to try something new, but if your kid wants to get recruited for college, they may not get noticed as much. Coaches are pretty good. [b]The theater department is weak.[/b] There is a marching band where a lot of HS don’t have them. There aren’t as many choices in classes as there may be in a larger HS.

Closed campus for lunch can be a pro or con depending, but there’s no going out for fast food for lunch because they’re not allowed since the closest food option is a 15-20 min walk.

Overall? We love Rockville. So glad we are in this neighborhood.[/quote]
RM Black Masker theater is amazing!  Some really talented students there.   I was really impressed.[/quote]
