[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, in Moco the immersion programs are not technically called "magnets" because you enter through a lottery rather than through magnet application process (the magnet application process involves testing, teacher recs, transcript). Therefore, even if BCC had an immersion program, this would still not make BCC a magnet in the MoCo sense of the word. Just some MoCo jargon.

In MoCo, there are immersion programs in some elementary and middle schools, but not in the high schools, I don't think. There are two spanish immersion feeder schools to BCC: Rock Creek Forest ES and Westland MS (I think ??? Maybe someone can correct the school names).  Often the spanish immersion kids end up in the BCC IB program.

As for the BCC IB program itself, my understanding is that kids can enter if they have a GPA meeting a certain threshold, but there is no lottery and no full-fledged magnet-type application process. Also, you can attend BCC but not do the IB program if you're not interested in IB.[/quote]
