Do you even hear yourself?[/quote]

I'm the poster who said to eliminate IB. It may be a "popular" program with some, but many SL families would prefer AP.  This was clear during the boundary comments in 2008 and it is still true today.  Especially now that fewer Carson kids are attending TJ, more likely feel that way.
As for the 155 students from Herndon, I'm guessing that there are factors other than IB that encourage pupil placement.  The AAP center may be one of them. The demographics may be another. And, for those who complain about Herndon/Langley boundary, that may be just as much of a factor with the issues that some people have with Herndon as the boundary.

IB at Lewis also enables students to request AP at a different school.

FCPS should relook at the IB program.  I'm betting that more leave Lewis than ask to attend.  That is another reason for the discrepancies in schools.  I had no idea that 155 Herndon students PP into South Lakes.

As long as FCPS offers both IB and AP at different school, it will have a disparate impact on neighboring schools.
