Question:
[b]How often do students pupil place into IB and AP schools for those programs?[/b][/u]
Response:
In FY 2016, a total of 1,018 student transfers were approved enabling students to participate in an Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) program at a non-base school. There were 474 transfers approved for AP students and 544 transfers approved for IB students.

Interesting how requests for IB outweigh those for AP given the multitudes here that insist AP is superior...[/quote]

So, on average, 59 kids were transferring out of each of the 8 IB schools for AP compared to 32 kids transferring out of each of the 17 AP schools for IB, even though the AP schools are more likely to be closed to transfers and the IB schools tend to have lower enrollments.[/quote]
