[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The magnet program was put at RM 25 years ago. At that time it did need the help and that was why it was selected.  However, the program worked and the school is a different place. Also there was re-dristicting done at the same time.  Which probably also helped.[/quote]

Yes Ritchie Park was placed into the district and the school's families/neighborhoods had an absolute fit because of it.  No one wanted their kids to leave Wootton and go there.  And guess what?  Most of the good families moved away and crap is moving into those neighborhoods.  Ritchie Park has major issues.  Then they added Twinbrook school to RM.  Fun.  And yes, those 20% IB really bring up the rear.  Fallsgrove has been begging to leave that district since day 1.  They sold homes on the basis that they were going to Lakewood/Wootton and then slammed RM district on them.  A lot of issues.  I have been in the area for awhile.  My husband went to RM and we sent 1 of our 3 kids thru RM. THe others switched to private before JW.  Been there, done that.  Not impressed.  [/quote]
