[quote=Anonymous]Mom on the fence again. I got the IB Diploma in the 90s, if I remember correctly, scoring lowest on language and math. I think I scored 3s on SL math and German, enough for a top 10 SLAC at the time. We're white and were first gen college students.

The PP who taught in Fairfax raises thoughtful issues about language instruction in DC public schools, even if nobody else on this thread wants to hear it. We're looking at good colleges abroad for our kids for fi reasons, Canada, Ireland, the UK. This means we do care about IB exam scores and AP scores.

I don't get the feeling that the DCI high school has a culture where the scores matter yet. It's not clear to me what [i]does[/i] matter to the leadership and families, other than high GPAs, fun for top students, and that the school improves slowly over time.

We're thinking seriously of moving to Arlington, where I work, for Washington-Liberty's IBD program. The program has been around for more than 30 years. We'd keep our DC house on CH, returning as empty nesters.[/quote]
