[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone speak to Aps WL IB vs McLean High School?  We have an all A student coming from a Loudoun middle school, and we are moving close in because of work. We are looking at two neighborhoods zone for WL or McLean. My spouse likes the IB program and things it’s even better than the AP focused McLean path. I’m a little worried about the size of WL and the low GS scores (which I admit are probably from demographics, but hard to puzzle out college readiness and acceptance only by a program at a high school vs a whole high school).

Is WL IB have the same academics as Mclean?  The whole AAP thing seems to set FCPS as a place that really emphasizes differentiation.  Does that continue in high school; so you have to meet certain benchmarks to be on AP at McLean?  One of my concerns is the WL IB accepts any student who wants to take it, rather than having a qualifying exam or something, and even more so in their AP courses they encourage all students to take AP so they can claim “X amount graduate with AP credit”.

Anyone move from one to the other?[/quote]

You can also look at Marshall HS, which has IB. Its boundaries are adjacent to McLean's. I believe the City of Falls Church is also IB.
