[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard to beat those college admission stats for IB diploma students. Surely some self-selection involved, but full IB students get different counselor recommendations than other WL students. [/quote]

The IB program should be removed from WL.  If APS wants an IB option program, they should make it a full countywide option.  If APS wants part-time IB students, they should allow any student at any of the high schools to take a few IB classes from that IB option program....like taking CTE courses at the Career Center.

It is a county-wide program. Any Arlington resident can attend. [/quote]

That's not quite true.  There are limited seats available and students must meet certain academic requirements to be eligible IF they are transferring into WL from another school.
Meanwhile, any student districted to WL is eligible for the IB program and can opt to take some IB classes (with any relevant pre-requisites) without being full-time IB.
I'm saying the IB program should be for full-time IB students comprised completely by application and lottery (like HB and AT), and then also accommodate non-IB students for individual IB classes like CTE courses are limitedly available to students at any high school.
