I know Yorktown students who applied for IB and were not accepted for the class of 2017. I do not think 64 represents the number who applied especially given the fact that a decent amount who are accepted for pre-IB in 9th and 10th and don't do full IB in 11th and 12th.

The class of 2017 has graduated. I'm talking about current numbers, which show a gap between permitted IB transfer numbers and actual number of transfers.

Maybe some kids do the pre-IB years at their home schools and then transfer? That seems unlikely, because I don't know a lot of kids who want to leave their current friends for a new school, but maybe that's the case.

Also, regardless of what other posters think about the merits of IB, OP didn't ask about that (and if s/he did, probably a lot of people would point out that it's been discussed plenty already and would supply links).

So, OP:

Current numbers indicate that transferring is entirely doable, especially if your child transfers at the beginning of high school.
If your child drops IB, s/he will have to return to the home school.
DCUM posters never pass the opportunity to rehash old arguments.[/quote]
