[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test scores at most IB schools remain lower because they're located in lower-income areas with more apartment complexes and poorer housing stock.  The installation of AP or IB in the HS is never going to substantially change that issue.  People who want out of a given pyramid badly enough will still find a way to transfer (foreign language, for instance).  Sure there are some who actually prefer a certain program, but it's crazy to assume transfers from schools like Annandale to Woodson are all about the desire for AP.

Which is why FCPS should put an effort into redistricting school boundaries to reduce high concentrations of FARMs students and spread them throughout the system. More mixing of racial/ethnic and SES groups would benefit all, but especially the poorer students.[/quote]

What if the FARMS students prefer to attend schools closer to their homes?  The bulk of the FARMS students at Marshall either live very close to Marshall (the area off Pimmit Drive) or closer to Marshall or a higher FARMS school (Falls Church) than to Madison (the areas off Lee Highway).[/quote]
