[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC is an excellent writer, very creative, and very smart. What's the difference between the AP and IB? We are in OHS pyramid - walking distance close, but want to understand which program is a better fit for a gifted writer. TIA![/quote] The conventional wisdom is that you get to/have to write more in IB than in AP. On the other hand, I have a friend whose daughter sounds like your DC, and she's done quite well at Oakton, which has good journalism classes and student publications. Do you know what your IB option is? If you live close to OHS, you're almost half way between South Lakes and Marshall. Marshall is higher-ranked than South Lakes, but I wouldn't want to travel to Marshall from Oakton every day, particularly now that the high schools will be starting later in the morning. The traffic going to Tysons would be a deal-killer for me. It would be much easier to get to South Lakes, even if the distance was about the same. [/quote]
