[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the exception of Marshall and Robinson, IB programs are clustered at high schools with the highest FARMS rates. It's ridiculous to suggest that parents are transferring their kids from these schools because they believe AP is inherently superior. The AP/IB issue just gives them a convenient excuse to choose a school with higher test scores. [/quote] That still begs the question as to why the IB schools remain weaker, decades after IB was put in place, ostensibly to attract higher SES students. But, if you believe students merely pupil place to attend schools with higher test scores (an assertion belied by the posters who say they pupil placed their students from Madison to Marshall, despite the latter's lower SAT scores, US News ratings, etc.), FCPS should still get rid of the IB program at multiple IB schools, which would limit out-bound pupil placements and shore up those schools.
