Wow, you are absolutely right. That's incredible.[/quote]
No, it isn't.

Region 1 - BCC already has IB
Region 2 - IB is at Springbrook.  Sherwood has lower FARMs rate than Springbrook
Region 3 - Kennedy, which definitely is not the richest in that region, and also they already have the IBDP
Region 4 - RM, not the richest in the region, and already has establish IBDP
Region 5 - Watkins Mill. Also includes Crown, so not sure about FARMs rate, but Damascus is in that region and has a lower FARMs rate than WM.  But, WM already has an IB program

The new humanities program is yet to be decided, except in Region 5 in Poolesville.  There, you are correct.

Unless, MCPS came out with another slide that I'm not aware of.[/quote]

Yes, you need to look at the updated slides. The humanities magnets are located at Whitman, Sherwood, WJ, Churchill, QO, and Poolesville.[/quote]

Sorry updated slides here: https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/DMJHXR4AA9BD/$file/Boundary%20Studies%20Program%20Analysis%20Update%20251016%20PPT%20REV.pdf[/quote]
PP here.. you are correct. Thanks for the update.

Maybe it's because they think the humanities program won't be as highly in demand compared to the STEM ones?

Also, in the working draft, in the pathway section, for Humanities in Churchill, it states:  IB Lang.   Churchill doesn't have IB. So, does this mean that they will have a IB English only? [/quote]
