[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why IB students (of which there are very few for a magnet school) have to take classes before and after school to get the whole IB program. DCI is able to make the IB program happen during the course of a regular school day. [/quote]

This is how Banneker does it. They also have a much higher community service requirement.[/quote]

That’s BS.  It’s not this is how Banneker does it.  Their IB averages are terrible, barely passing even with the mandatory before and after school classes.

You don’t push more classes and school if kids are excelling.  [/quote]

Math proficiency
Banneker, 55%
DCI, 22%

Math 5s
Banneker, 8/267, 3%
DCI, 4/410, 1%

ELA proficiency 
Banneker, 91%
DCI, 47%

ELA 5s

DCI, 15%

DCI starts earlier than Banneker, ends later, and has a shorter lunch. I wouldn’t draw big conclusions about the quality of the schools based on their bell schedules. [/quote]

Seriously?  This is your defense why Banneker does so poorly on the IB even with hours of extra class time?  Do you really think that 2 plus hours of extra class time each day is somehow being made up in DCI’s schedule?  LOL!

Above examples don’t prove anything.  Comparison is not the same.

DCI takes all, Banneker self selects.

DCI offers IB diploma to anyone who wants to do it.  Again Banneker self selects within the self selected group.

BTW even with all of the above, DCI IB averages are better than Banneker.
