[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is purely based on PSAT scores being in the top 1% of the state (semifinalist) or top 2-3% (commended). i.e. this is a metric for who can afford SAT tutoring.[/quote] It is more then just who can afford SAT tutoring but also what schools have parents and/or students that are really invested in academic success. SLHS has 0 commended and one semi-finalist. There are parents who have enough money to pay for SAT tutoring but the culture at the school is not one where the kids feel competitive or pushed. The IB schools combined barely equal Oakton. I don’t know if the kids who are more academically driven are pupil placing to other schools or what but the overall showing at the IB schools is not great. [/quote] Other than Robinson, IB is a complete failure in FCPS I can't believe our school board is preparing to spend millions on an IB contract renewal. [/quote]
