[quote=Anonymous]The IB organization in Geneva can put a school on probation, on the road to revoking IB World School status.  They look closely at school demographics though, so Geneva is very unlikely come at DCI, with a high % of low SES kids enrolled, and at least a third of the IB Diploma students actually earning the Diploma.  DCI can probably scrape by indefinitely on its current IBD results.  Eastern and Banneker have been permitted to hang onto IBD programs for more than a decade now, although those programs don't have even as many as 15 students earning the IBD annually.

BTW, IBD results aren't like AP test scores.  In addition to passing six subject tests, IBD students need to meet several other requirements. They need to earn CAS points (Community, Action, Service essentially volunteer work), Extended Essay points (30-page research paper), and ToK (Theory of Knowledge class) points to clear a total points bar of 24-45.

Sounds like DCI needs to up its game in administering each IBD component.
