[quote=Anonymous]For W-L, it has an IB program but it also has a full slate of AP classes. If you live in-boundary for it you can either do the IB Diploma program or you can just take your choice of AP and IB classes (which is what my kids do). IB is pretty structured so we prefer the flexibility with electives by not doing that. I've heard good things about the computer and engineering teachers at W-L. Kids can also take classes at the career center and it has a lot more tech classes. Those classes, I believe, are not compatible with doing the IB program because they take more time. I have a sophomore and senior at W-L and I've been happy with their experience there. They have a nice peer group of motivated kids, including those who've transferred in for the IB program. It's a big school and seems to have something for everyone. You can see the class offerings here: https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/HS-PROGRAM-OF-STUDIES-2020-21-FINAL-1.pdf And, this class size report will give you an idea of how many kids at each school take certain classes: https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Class-Size-Report-Final.pdf For example - for AP Computer Science last year, Wakefield had 2 sections averaging 16 kids each. W-L had 2 sections, averaging 17 kids. Yorktown at 1 section with 29 kids. W-L also offers IB Computer Science HL, a 2-year sequence. There were 2 classes of 24 in part 1 and 3 classes or 12 in part 2. [/quote]
