[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The average worldwide IB score is around 30-33.

The average DCI score is below the worldwide average but some DCI students do beat the average.[/quote]

This.  Ignore the people who want DCI to have averages of high 30’s to 40’s.

I would also add that worldwide, the[b] majority of IB schools are private or accessed by select group[/b].[/quote]

Source?  Fact is, the majority of IB schools are public schools here in the US, not abroad, not private, not exactly accessed by "select group."  What happens is that public IBD programs in this country are generally school-within-a-school programs catering to self-selecting advanced students, vs. to average students like at DCI.  If you doubt this, look around in the DC burbs.  IBD programs in this Metro area, like the nearest one in, at Washington-Liberty in Arlington, require pre-IBD students to have earned high grades to qualify to take Diploma classes in 11th and 12th grades.  DCI's seems to have no standards for entry to IBD classes.  It's IB for All.  That's the problem, not DCI is a public school, or a DC school, or fairly new. [/quote]
