[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unhappy 8 year anniversary to the rape incident at Rockville.[/quote]

:shock: 
8 years ago already? My kid was a senior when it happened and I vaguely remember many kids were trying to defend the kid who did it. Honestly, it was really disgusting to hear such a thing and I’m really disappointed how the admin and former principal handled the incident. [/quote]

I’d imagine with the current principal and admin of that school, this situation would be 100x worse. What happened to Ms Bensen anyway?[/quote]

Ms. Bensen retired after the 2020-21 year, guess she was tired of working as the principal there after almost a decade. No idea what else leading up to her retirement to be fair with you.

In all honesty, I don’t see much improvement. Rockville is already one of the most hated schools in MCPS according to DCUM forums.[/quote]

I’m a parent of two students at RHS and a longtime DCUM reader, and I can assure you that most parents I know there are happy with RHS. There was a fight last week and my kids say it’s the first one they heard of in awhile. I heard that some of the other schools have several big fights a week. Rockville is not the cesspool people somehow think it is. [/quote]

I think the school generally has had worse reputation after the rape incident, and I think that’s the first thing that comes to many MCPS parents’ mind when it comes to discussing about the high school. My oldest kid graduated there the same school year the assault happened.

I have not heard any updates with the new principal at the school nor the admin, but I heard the same year the school had the new principal, there was a huge increase in fights (around 1-2 a week) but I’m sure they’ve been able to crack it down.

I can see where many parents dislike the school, but honestly, my kid had a decent experience. There’s a few good clubs and athletics are nice there, but I think there should be some improvement.[/quote]
