How can you argue that the top kids aren't held back at DCI when, apparently, none of the seniors has earned an IBD score in the high 30s or 40s?

DCI students aren't encouraged to double up on AP exams by counselors. This sucks because it's normal for American IBD students to take that path. What this means is that DCI students generally aren't earning high AP scores either.

You don't think that there are DCI students who could earn top scores on IBD?

Whenever anybody posts about the problem of few or no native speakers in the most advanced DCI language classes, another poster shouts troll! How is this constructive when the problem is depressing DCI's Diploma exam language scores?

No question that scores would be even lower if a bunch of UMC parents weren't paying for immersion experiences outside the program. We know DCI families who pay for 2-week Concordia Language Village camps which cost $2,600. Families have even started teaming up to drive kids out to MN for the sessions.[/quote]
