[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The expectation at any new IB school is that the first few classes will have a pretty small group of students passing the IB exam.

In a way it doesn’t matter because the results come out after college acceptances. Once a class or two of kids go all the way through DCI will probably tweak its program as they will know what the students struggled with in the exam. [/quote]

Your info on IB testing is seriously dated.  For the last decade, IB students have been able to take up to 4 of their 6 subject exams in May of junior year, with the results available for college applications in the fall.  It does matter if the college bound in IBD programs are on track to earn the full diploma or not.  Moreover strong American IB students commonly double up on the AP exams that overlap with their IB subject exam to have more standardized test results to submit with college applications,  This is standard practice in established IBD programs.[/quote]

DCPS doesn't have any true IB schools, even Deal is IB-lite, diluted with DCPS curricula, cornerstones, and other criteria and learning objectives they have to meet. [/quote]
