[APS] Washington-Lee IB Program as a Means to Avoid Wakefield

[Anonymous]

New poster. Do you have to apply to WL IB and be accepted or does everyone who requests it get in?

It depends. The rule is that among those who are qualified (applied and met the standard), if there aren't enough spots there is a lottery.

Not all kids can handle the workload of a WL IB diploma,

Do they boot them out if they drop/can't handle IB???? That's the only fair thing to do for those that paid in-zone.

I talked to a WL teacher recently who said that some students who transfer to WL, supposedly for the IB program, stop taking IB classes altogether and that the school has not been good about weeding them out. Hopefully that will change very soon.

The condition of the transfer is that the student commits to taking a certain minimum number of IB courses over the HS years. If the student does not take that minimum he or she is supposed to return to the assigned base HS. It's very clear in the transfer documents.

Good. I'm sick of people lying and cheating the system and making my kids schools more over-crowded.

Hahahhaahhahha
You are about to get another 1300 seats crammed onto your campus. Go f#ck yourself.

Where should the program go? The other two high schools are soon to be overcrowded as well. I'm sure someone will now say it should go to Wakefield.

as it should. all seats in N Arlington school should be reserved for N Arlington families until if/when capacity issue is resolved.

There are no "north" arlington schools, just arlington schools. Same school system.

Yep, one unhappy school system right now, whether it's rezoning more low-income kids to Wakefield, keeping HB Woodlawn at everyone else's expense, racism at Yorktown, or losing play space at McKinley.

Interesting. Just had lunch today with a Wakefield teacher who said no space at Wakefield for the IB program either.

There will be trailers at Wakefield soon enough without moving the IB program so not sure that solves any problems in terms of capacity issues.

Great. Move H-B to the original building off Columbia Pike and I will totally agree with this policy.

Seriously, I need to provide you with links??? Where have you been for the past two plus years and especially the past year with parents mobilizing for a fourth comprehensive high school and Murphy and the SB

[Anonymous]

Accidentally hit submit. Murphy and the SB talking about internships and online classes and high school in shifts. You think that's just happening at WL and Yorktown?

The new 1,300 student facility at the Ed Center will be the new IB program. Even though no one will admit that the Ed Center has been selected.
