THIS.

Those students who don’t want to pursue the IB diploma can take AP courses.

The highest performing students can be further tracked into AP courses in 9th and 10th, then IB track 11th and on.  This will give them a huge advantage in college admissions showing high AP scores early on and strong IB scores later.

I think it’s a good thing to offer more rigorous courses like AP earlier on to the kids who can handle it in 9th and 10th.

The kids not pursuing the IB diploma can take AP in 11th and 12th or when they can handle it.

It is good to offer more tracking IMO.[/quote]

DCI, per its charter, is IB-for-all. There is no tracking, all 11th and 12th graders pursue their IB diploma (or CP certificate, also an IB program).

Some 10th graders can take AP English as an elective in addition to (not a replacement for) MYP (IB) English, and I believe that there are some math classes that combine AP and IB (unsure though)[/quote]

While there is IB for all, there is informal tracking in math at least from the very beginning. [/quote]

There is no informal tracking at dci. It’s quite formal and based on test scores like the NWEA, classroom performance and teacher recommendation.[/quote]
