[quote=Anonymous]Former RHS parent here—I’ve had two students graduate from Rockville and they had different experiences.

DD—went through the IB program. Most if not all of the IB teachers she had were excellent. She felt the program was extremely challenging (sometimes expressed it was too much work) but did feel extremely well prepared for college. She is now at a highly competitive private university thriving. She is a very social person and found plenty of activities at RHS and did benefit from the sports teams being less competitive.

DS—Less academically inclined than DD but more into sports. He did not do IB and went through most of HS in the regular level classes, challenging himself to the occasional honors. The regular level classes are full of behavior issues and students needing a lot of support. So we felt my son was basically ignored in those classes because the teacher’s attention went to all of the other kids. He didn’t particularly enjoy those classes because of the crazy behavior which is why he started taking honors courses. He really enjoyed the community and friends he made through sports.

I think overall RHS is a good school but yes, kids get into trouble there, just like at other schools. I’m talking to some neighbors who are teachers at other county schools, it seems like lack of discipline is something coming from the county/state, that schools have little control over. [/quote]
