[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eight IB high schools in FCPS and only 13 National Merit Semifinalists among them? What a weak showing. No wonder people prefer the AP schools.[/quote] No, people prefer schools in high SES areas no matter what the program is. No one is choosing Falls Church High over Marshall.[/quote] The only FCPS schools with more National Merit Semifinalist this year than Marshall were TJ, McLean, and Langley. That's impressive.[/quote] Add Madison. Still very impressive.[/quote] Unfortunately, Marshall had more semifinalists than the seven other IB schools in the county combined. [/quote] Which should tell you that it's the SES of the school population, not IB/AP dichotomy, that predicts performance. Marshall is more affluent than other IB schools, ergo, it performs better.
