[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, your quick assessment of the SAT scores is possibly correct.

The WIS community has a number of students who come to the School from abroad at some point in their education; so that a good number may have spent part of their school years speaking another language.

Also, parents and students from other countries -- who plan to return to universities abroad, which requires IB results but not SAT scores -- may not (frankly) prepare their children for the SAT with prep classes, or emphasize the test as important.[/quote]
When I look at the WIS profile, I see that two-thirds (66%) of WIS's seniors attend college in the US, so it seems most WIS students will be just as focused on SAT/AP exams as students from any other school.

[quote]A better measure of WIS success might be to look at the IB results at the School compared with those of other IB programs around the world.  That is where the students are placing the focus of their study and preparation.[/quote]
Perhaps that might be informative too.  Here are links to the WIS profile and the student profile for Richard Montgomery's IB program.  Are there other comparable IB programs we should compare with WIS?
