[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might want to post in the FCPS forums. Anyone who is paying massive tuition bills will twist themselves into a pretzel to justify it. [/quote]

DH is much more comfortable with FCPS, so I don't need to hear from them.  I appreciate PP who is staying, but really seems to be pinning it on HB or the smaller IB program insulating her student from the oversized WL.

FCPS doesn't have the same problem of trying to squeeze 3500 students into a campus designed for 2000 -- they open new high schools and have much more land.  And they aren't moving towards standards based grading I think, another point my DH and I argue about.

A few questions about IB.  1) I hear there is talk to move it to Wakefield, but I think that was put on hold?  2) Are the class sizes of IB actually smaller than mainstream classes?  3) If you are zoned for WL, than IB is automatic right?

Not sure about 1 & 2, but yes on 3.

I think for 2, a large class of motivated kids won’t feel as “crowded” as a large class of unmotivated kids.

NP, if you are zoned for Yorktown should you just give up on hoping for IB since WL is so crowded?[/quote]
