[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kennedy IB? If you are in-bounds for the Kennedy regional IB, I can't imagine wanting to deal with the Poolesville commute. [/quote]

Poolesville is very distinct from Kennedy so it's not really comparable.

Poolesville's magnet programs are test-in, meaning you have to apply and pass a test to qualify, and their humanities and STEM magnets are only open to these clusters: Clarksburg, Damascus, Gaithersburg, Magruder, Northwest, Poolesville, Quince Orchard, Seneca Valley, Watkins Mill.

The Global Ecology program at Poolesville is open to all MCPS students, but again, you've gotta test in.

[b]Kennedy's IB program is comparable to other IB programs. It's not as exclusive as Richard Montgomery's, which you have to apply to and meet high criteria to get into it. It's a regional IB program for any kid in the DCC.[/b] It's also new though, so the program is still finding its legs and the success rate of the program in churning out diploma grads is not there yet.

Within the DCC, Einstein also offers an IB program, but that only counts if your kid gets Einstein as their choice. If not, then Kennedy is your only other IB option in the DCC.[/quote]

That's not quite right. Kennedy's regional IB program has the same application process as RM's. And its region covers BCC, Churchill, Whitman, Walter Johnson, and the Downcounty Consortium (DCC) – Blair, Einstein, Northwood, Kennedy, Wheaton[/quote]

I’d also add that Kennedy’s IB program is not new.  Just the regional program. Kennedy has had a local IB program for some time.[/quote]
