I don't find this credible. In large part, the credibility of your post is undermined by the assertion that placing IB in lower income schools has served to retain substantial number of higher income families and attracted families and students to those schools. Instead, having IB at the schools has led  families to avoid the IB school districts and given the families who reside in those districts and care more about education the ability to pupil place their children to nearby, higher ranked AP schools. In short, the strategy that FCPS has pursued has been a failure and a waste of resources. Notably, no higher income community in the county has ever sought to have AP in their schools replaced with IB, and parents at one top-ranked AP school (Woodson) successfully rebuffed the efforts by FCPS to install IB there.

I didn't say it was successful, but it was a rather smart attempt.

On your part, I find the assertion that lower income families care about education less than higher income families to undermine your argument (and to be staggeringly classist).  I guess when you're struggling to pay the bills, you have less energy to spend on DCUM arguing the benefits of HYP over UVA or Maryland.[/quote]
