[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GreatSchools ratings simply reflect average scores on basic state competency exams. RM has a selective IB program within a larger school with a general education program, so it could have both the region's best IB program and lower average standardized test scores than another IB school.[/quote]

I believe Richard Montgomery is opening up the IB Middle Years Program to all incoming students next year, but it will still be the IB magnet for out-of-boundary students. The IB program at W-L is selective--students submit an application and must meet certain academic requirements to enter the IB Middle Years Program (9-10) and the IB Program (11-12). Scores on IB exams place W-L among the best of the local IB schools: Marshall, Robinson, B-CC, etc.

For students not interested in the IB Program, W-L also offers the standard AP curriculum as outlined in the Arlington HS Program of Studies. W-L's AP scores rank "in the middle" for Northern Virginia high schools, which are all above average for the state and nationally. Individual IB and AP classes are generally open to all students.
