[quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of variation among the IB schools in FCPS but the one constant is that you don’t have to do the full IB program at an IB school. The percentage of graduating seniors getting the full diploma varies from 2% to 20%. At some IB schools you are expected to take IB English in 11th and 12th grade if you are an English speaker. But in general if you don’t want to take an IB class you can take an Honors or regular class. Overall the IB participation rates and performance on the IB tests vary widely among schools. So at Mount Vernon last year only 13 of 422 Hispanic kids in 11th or 12th grade ended up taking and getting a passing score on a year-end IB exam but at Marshall 298 of the 475 White kids in 11th and 12th grade did.
