IB schools that offer both the IB and a full AP program provide a strong alternative to students that don't want to pursue the IB diploma. Colleges will be just as impressed by a full AP course load taken by such a student at an IB school. The IB diploma, while an excellent goal for many high achieving students, isn't for everyone.

I suspect that some of the IB high schools in Fairfax county give students the choice to do an IB or AP track.

btw, all the schools mentioned above are excellent. [/quote]

I think Robinson, which is huge, is the only IB school in Fairfax that also offers a lot of AP courses.  [/quote]

Only the larger dc-area high schools offer both IB and AP: Bethesda Chevy Chase, W-L, and Robinson. 
B-CC and W-L offer a full AP curriculum, while Robinson offers somewhat fewer AP courses. I suppose it's an issue of funding and school size, but having both programs in a large high school is not a bad idea at all. A small school the size of Marshall is better suited to either AP or IB.

So for the OP, the choice would be between an AP school (Woodson) or an IB school (Mason). The OP will have to decide if that matters or not, while looking for a house in those school districts.[/quote]
