[quote=Anonymous]We are a few years out, so our experience may be dated, but WL started the IB program because the school was viewed as less desirable than Yorktown and it was hoped that the program would shore it up. That appears to have worked, but I'd be surprised if we've now reached the point where WL is actually a better school than Yorktown academically. Test scores certainly don't bear that out -- in a typical year, Yorktown's are marginally higher across the bored. We had high achieving kids attend Yorktown, and they had no interest in the IB program. Lots of high achieving kids don't. The idea that an academically oriented kid would be "bullied" at Yorktown for that reason sounds preposterous to me, unless the school climate has undergone a truly dramatic transformation over the last few years.[/quote]
