[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS has 25 high or secondary schools, and only 8 have IB.  The rest is AP.  So if you want AP and were looking at the Robinson area, look in Lake Braddock or Woodson instead.  If you were looking in the South Lakes area, look at Oakton instead.  If you were looking in the Marshall area, look at the McLean or Madison areas instead.  Most of southeastern Fairfax is IB (Annandale, Edison, Justice, Lee, Mount Vernon), but Falls Church, West Potomac, Hayfield and South County are all AP. [/quote]

Just a point. We live walking distance to Robinson, but due to AAP both kids went to Lake Braddock for middle and then pupil placed to Woodson, fwiw. It's actually nice considering if you moved our house across Braddock it would cost 100K more.

We sent one to Robinson who did the full IB diploma. It was a positive experience for her. The writing isn't a joke and the language requirements are more rigorous than the AP Spanish my other two did (she took the AP Spanish exam and got a 5 but got like a 6 (barely passing) on the IB exam).[/quote]
