[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RM became a magnet because it was very poor before - you don't want to return to that ... It wasn't a good place to be back then. [/quote]

Wasn't just the magnet program.  They redistricted parts of Rockville about 20 yrs ago, and a more affluent area got redistricted to RM.[/quote]

This is correct.  I grew up in one of the redistricted neighborhoods, but I was already at Wootton.  My brother would have been in the first incoming redistricted class (he is 40) in his 9th grade year.  FWIW, my parents pulled him and put him in private (mostly due to the fact that he was flunking out of middle school and needed a much smaller environment).[/quote]

Yes, apparently caused a major uproar in the area.  But most of the parents I have met in that area are fine with RM, so I guess 20+ yrs later the reputation has changed a bit.[/quote]

20:00 again.  Yes, now RM's rep is much much different than it used to be.  There was a HUGE fight when they began the redistricting.  We lost some friends who lived in the RM neighborhoods when my brother switched to private (again, switch had to do with his lousy grades and inability to function in large classes more so than the school switch.  He would not have gone to Wootton either).[/quote]
