[quote=Anonymous]FYI, here is a recent list of National Merit Semifinalists at FCPS schools: http://commweb.fcps.edu/newsreleases/newsrelease.cfm?newsid=2605 193 went to AP schools, and 12 went to IB schools. Even if you exclude the 129 students at TJ, which has AP and more advanced courses, but no IB, you'd have 64 students from AP schools and 12 from IB schools. 12 out of 205 National Merit Semifinalists is underwhelming when you consider that (1) almost 1/3 of FCPS high school students attend IB schools now and (2) NMSFs are based primarily on the critical reading and writing scores (2/3 of the total) not math scores (1/3 of the total). You would think IB schools would be better represented if IB was superior at teaching critical reading and writing skills. In any event, the MYP is not necessary to get an IB diploma in HS. The main goal of the MYP program is to get the students on the IB bandwagon sooner and increase the odds they'll pursue an IB diploma. [/quote]
