[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got into both RMIB and the Blair Math/Science/Comp Sci Magnet. The math/science kids at  RM (on the night admitted kids tour the school)  told my kid & their friends that Math/Science dept not great, they'd be better @ Poolesville/Blair. Just saying... My kid knows many at both schools. I hear both good.[/quote]

I am not going to argue with you even though I am not sure what you mean by "math/science kids at RM." There is no such thing. Having said that, keep in mind Blair/PHS STEM programs' focus is on, well, STEM field. IB is a program that focuses on multiple aspects of education. Not just STEM, not just reading or writing, or history or whatever. So, if you have a STEM kid who wants to do STEM and really don't care of other aspects, I'd recommend Blair/PHS programs. If you are looking for more balanced education, RM/IB maybe better. This doesn't mean RM/IB kids are bad at Math/Science or RM's Math/Science department is not good. Using Math as an example, a lot of IB kids take AP Cal BC as juniors (some as Soph and some as Senior but many as Juniors) and get 5s on AP exams. My 2cents.
