[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think has to do a lot more some people trying to avoid schools with high FARMS and URM rates. This, of course, happens all over the US, and not surprisingly, in many countries in the Americas and Europe. [/quote]

Right. South Lakes is mostly affluent and white, but it has more low income students than Lake Braddock for example, so it is perceived to be inferior. [/quote]

South lakes is inferior because of IB.[/quote]

"Inferior" according to the DCUMers who have an irrational hatred of IB.

Not inferior according to the UVA and W&M admissions officers who love IB students.[/quote]
I read a thread on Reddit once where professors ranked IB students as the most well prepared (compared to AP and DE students).  It made me think of DCUM.  I think the rabid IB hatred is actually mostly in FCPS forum and mostly the same 1-2 posters (who will *always* bring up IB and how FCPS should scrap it in threads not even related to IB).  You go to the college forum and parents of IB students seem pretty content with IB.  [/quote]

Yes, reddit.  The land of trolls and fake experts.
