[quote=Anonymous] IB has its strengths, but it's telling that FCPS hasn't introduced IB to a high school for over a decade and that most of the high-performing high schools in the county, including Langley, are AP schools. If IB either did a better job than AP preparing students for college or gave them an advantage in the college admissions process, you'd expect to see the opposite. The watershed seems to have been when FCPS tried to convert Woodson from AP to IB, and the parents objected and forced FCPS to abandon that plan. FCPS has been adding some IB programs at the primary and middle school level, but that appears to be intended to shore up struggling IB high schools where very few students are pursuing IB diplomas.
