[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened at Woodson? [/quote] Many years ago, FCPS had planned to place the IB program at Woodson, and the parents didn't want it. The school remained AP. Not really a big deal. [/quote] Did the other schools that now have IB have support for it or did the school board make the decision?[/quote] The school board chose which schools would have IB and which would have AP in the late 90s[/quote] It was a fad from the late 90s until the early 00s. FCPS stopped converting AP schools to IB after Woodson objected and it became clear IB was not stemming white flight, but instead giving kids at poorer IB schools an option to transfer to wealthier AP schools. Both of the high schools that opened thereafter (Westfield and South County) were AP.[/quote]
