All JW students are in the MYP program (which is the IB curriculum for 6th - 10th grade).  If they go to RM, they continue through 10th grade.  At that time they can apply to the actual IB program for 11th and 12th grade joining the magnet students.  [b]Less than 50 do but it is not very competitive at that point.[/b].

JW students as well as other MoCo kids can also apply to the selective magnet which begins in 9th grade.  They are in seperate classes from the neighborhood kids.  Though if non-magnet kids continue for 11 and 12th grades they are in the same classes...and some IB classes are open to anyone in the school.  [/quote]

It is FAR less than 50. Less than 10 most likely. [/quote]

This is not what I was told at a school meeting earlier in the year.  I know strong students that have gone both ways.  Some want more flexibility than IB offers.  Some want the credential and experience.[/quote]

My DC (RMIB Class of 2015) says about 12 kids for her class. [/quote]

So, do kids who live in the RM cluster get a boost in terms of getting into the IB magnet, kind of like how TPMS magnet does?[/quote]

Yes they do.  I don;t know how many JW kids get in each year..but we seem to know a good number each year.[/quote]
