[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ also pulls from all of NoVa. A magnet IB school simply won't fill to capacity, especially one that only pulls from a handful of HSs. I assume that Robinson and Marshall would not be converted to AP? Creative proposals are good for discussion. Not for actual implementation.[/quote] Insider here. Yeah, no. It would be a regional IB center. And I cannot emphasize this enough -- even looking at actual seats among the 7 schools, you would have 70-80 percent immediate capacity without even considering the additional interest in the stand-alone IB Middle and High school. The county that did this (converted a middle and high school to an IB only lottery school) had immediate full capacity and a 30 percent wait list. For the first year. Now, it runs at 100 percent capacity and has a waitlist that is twice the length of its enrolled student body. Popularity isn't an issue, here. Politics, yes. Competing priorities, yes. [/quote]
