[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand these arguments at all. IB is a fabulous program that is way better than the BS standard education out there. Look at FCCPS they are one of the top programs in the country and run the program from K to 12[/quote]

Whatever.  FCPS is so large in school and student count that it can run statistically valid studies. Net TJ transfers out run at about 3% on hotly contested AP schools for boundaries.  No IB site is under 5% and Edison has to be discarded due to the STEM full time transfer.

If there was a strong preference IB would have gone in at Woodson, Langley, flagship TJ, Oakton, etc.  Madison to Marshall and Lake Braddock to Robinson would at minimum have flipped on AP to IB or quadrupled to incoming for IB.

FCPS put IB into Mount Vernon first as a school wide improvement to boost instructional leadership, academics, etc.  Some IB sites are now approaching  DC publics on massive movement to charter schools. Loudoun will have 2 IB HS- applications and hub bus transport.
