You're welcome
interesting.
BCC had no one taking IB Lang; they took IB Lang & Lit. RM had kids take both IB Lang and IB Lang & Lit.

You'll see that it is the specific teacher for specific subjects that matter more than the school program itself.
Not being snarky...but I really do not see how the chart shows me that at all.

yes, someone comparing private IB to a public magnet in a large public.
I think OP's question was answered in pg 1 of the thread.
Summary:
RMIB is better; has a high diploma rate; peer group is more higher achieving. The students start their magnet level classes (not IB, but magnet level) in 9th grade; example, RMS English is only open to RMIB magnet students.
BCC's program starts in 11th grade. 9th and 10th grades have classes with everyone else.
The downside is your chances of being selected for RMIB are slim and nothing you can count on.
Not slim if you have a kid with impressive academics.
Help me understand this reasoning. I have a kid currently at RMIB and she is impressive. But unless you believe that there just happen to be, every year, roughly only 130 students in the entire district who are impressive, chances for any particular kid are slim.

I’m not actually sure RMIB is “better” for every kid. They both have very high diploma rates and no kid has gone thru both and no parent has claimed to have had kids go thru both.

Take it up with the ridiculous poster who made an unsubstantiated comment that schools in Europe have better IB diploma results than we do here.
I think it’s fair that other posters wanted to shut down that nonsense.

Do you believe everything you read on the internet?
That is some random private website run by a company with clear profit motives.
The schools listed are ALL private schools!
They are IB schools.
yes, but a private school is not really comparable to a public. The available resources are very different. Those schools are *very* expensive, and the schools and parents have so much resource available to the kids. RMIB is a great program, but it's still within MCPS, a large school district that have many competing resources. RMIB is not getting the kind of resources that those wealthy private schools are getting.
Compare like for like -- public school to public school. RMIB diploma rate is one of the highest in the world.
Exactly. It's silly to compare an expensive private school to a FREE public school. But, even in doing so, RMIB comes out looking pretty impressive. Maybe even more so, since they don't have the funds and resources to compete on an equal footing.

We looked at a different private school school in the UK that had IB (my kid is in RMIB, and we were looking into moving there), and the cost was like $40K. We stayed put. LOL
