[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was disappointing it was virtual and only the administrators spoke, no students.  It is also disappointing that the shadowing days are this Thursday and Friday and decision day is Friday, February 17th.

You would think the admin would give kids a few days to think about it, maybe the weekend.  This is a huge decision.  Some students may be on the fence and go to shadowing on Friday and have to make the decision by the end of the day.

The program is very rigorous.  98% of students earn IB diplomas.  They also listed a sample of the schools (Ivy + top public universities) the Class of 2022 were attending but they do not break out which of those students actually were a part of the IB program.  [/quote]

98% that FINISH the IB diploma program earn their diploma. Many kids drop it[/quote]

My kids is a junior and doesn’t know anyone who has dropped it.  The kids from outside boundary (which I think is 100/125) can’t drop without returning to their home school so very few drop.  Maybe the inbounds kids drop?  But their passage rates are really impressive.  I also like Ms Deeny and the admins seem good (also really like the school secretary who responds promptly to all emails and is super nice about it).  I would assume that the schools listed are all from the IB program. I actually haven’t seen that list for 2022 so would love to see it.  I suspect it’s a little inflated because some top kids got in multiple great schools.  Did they all list actual enrollment?  That tends to even out those numbers as that one kid admitted to Harvard Yale and Stanford can only enroll one place![/quote]
