[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't have as many Asian kids boosting its test scores as Woodson, Oakton, McLean, etc.

It has the IB program, which at least in FCPS is considered less desirable than AP (Robinson does have some AP classes, just not a full menu).

And, Lake Braddock SS has the middle-school AAP (advanced academics) program in the area, and is an AP school with enough capacity to accept transfers, so there are a lot of AAP kids from the Robinson pyramid who stay at LBSS through high school.

Adjust for those factors, and it's about where you'd expect academically.  Overall, it's considered a big school that operates well, especially for its size.  [/quote]

The IB program, and the fact that there are no AAP centers at all in the pyramid (at either the elementary or middle school levels) mean that many high achieving families look elsewhere.[/quote]

The flip side being that it does not appeal to parents who start prepping their kids for TJ in kindergarten.

That's a plus or minus, depending on your outlook.[/quote]

That was a good one. 😊[/quote]
Much of the cheating element is missing.[/quote]

Last few posts are making a good case that Robinson is a place where middle-brow white racists can find a home.  [/quote]

Racists comes in more than one color and are everywhere in the county. [/quote]
