[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the info.

HOWEVER, i cannot find the 73% of the Seneca Valley.

The page shows [b]52.3[/b]% took one or more IB exam; [b]37.8[/b]% took one or more IB exam of a score of 4 or high

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Countywide, about 60% of students in class of 2024 that took at least one IB exams got a score of 4 or higher.

At Watkins Mill this percentage was 57% in 2024 so comparable to the rest of the county.

At Seneca Valley it was 73% which is better than the county average.

These are not the IB programs that sound like failures to me.

Thanks for this, PP. It sounds like those programs were successful, if we assume (as I do) that the goal was to provide a rigorous pathway for motivated students. They were never meant to change the trajectory or demographics of an entire school, but rather to ensure that college-bound kids have access to equitable resources regardless of location or background.

They used total students for the denominator. I used students that took at least one IB exams I the denominator. [/quote]
