[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]165? Wow.. that’s a lot more than when my kid graduated 3 years ago. It was only 120 or so.[/quote]

At info session they said 86% achieve the diploma. Is that because the 20 or so who don't are advised to take AP courses instead?[/quote]
Huh? Students who are taking AP courses instead of the diploma wouldn't be counted in the % achieving the diploma, they are not in the IB program.

From https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/schools/rmhs/ib/2017-18%20IB_Insert.pdf
"88% of Richard Montgomery's 161IB candidates in 2017 earned the IB Diploma;(The average worldwide success rate is approximately 79%.); RM Diploma Mean Grade 5.18(4.8 worldwide); RM Diploma Mean Points 33(30 worldwide). "
So about 19 candidates didn't earn the diploma. Criteria they may not have met would be things like turning in/passing the Extended Essay, meeting the test score requirements, passing TOK, completing CAS requirements. Sometimes kids hit the second half of senior year, have college acceptances in hand, and just don't see the need to finish the last bits.

Regarding the 120 - that is the total magnet students. In 11th grade additional students can join the IBDP bringing up the total to around 160-170.[/quote]
