[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the aversion to IB? It's one of the reasons we are considering it. That and that it's a smaller school. [/quote] Fcps put Lee in all of its low performing schools which happen to be clustered together in that part of the county. They thought it would draw in high performing families to bring up test scores. What actually happened was that families of high achieving kids used IB as a means of transferring out of zone to the higher performing IB schools. When this became obvious that this is what is happening, fcps did nothing and kept IB at all of those schools. As more kids transferred out using the IB loophole, test scores dipped furthur, resulting in fewer people choosing Lee. It became a vicious cycle, until we are where we are today.[/quote]
