[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really? Are you a teacher or parent at RM? I would hope that you are, if you're going to make a statement like that. Otherwise, it lacks credibility.  It may very well be the case that W s are more rigorous and have more motivated kids than RM w/out IB, but the question is whether RM is the type of school that should be avoided? I think no. A good kid will do we'll there. There is everything in place to reach everyone's full potential and no hindrances. [/quote]
I'm not the poster you were replying to, but I do live in the RM cluster. My DD is in pre-school so I have no first hand experience.

Isn't this whole discussion a bit misguided though? People keep debating the strength of RM HS without the IB magnet part, but isn't the real issue JW MS? However you feel about RM HS, the culture there is affected positively to some extent by the presence of the magnet kids/program. That isn't the case at JW MS, so it would seem to the weaker link in the chain when you start comparing things to the experience in the W clusters. I am debating public v private, and whether to stay in the cluster, but RM HS does not concern me at all and I'd gladly have my DD attend there in the non-IB sections. JW MS is what worries me.
