[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent of IB kid in MoCo and finding this discussion interesting. In MoCo, IB is well respected and regarded and has produced very strong students. Its popularity has certainly increased last 10 years and continue to do so each passing  year. Financially, MoCo is not in any better shape than FCPS but noone is demanding IB cuts. Maybe FCPS's issue is with implementation and not with the program itself. Two cents. [/quote]

FCPS has no IB magnet like RM, and it has a school or two with programs like B-CC.  But otherwise it seems similar in that Whitman/Churchill/Wootton/Walter Johnson/Poolesville, the schools in MoCo similar to Langley/McLean/Madison/Woodson/Oakton, are all AP, and IB seems to be concentrated at lower SES schools in MoCo like Einstein, Kennedy, Seneca Valley, Springbrook, and Watkins Mill.   The cynics would still say that IB is an expensive boondoggle, and that both FCPS and MCPS tend to stick it in schools where they expect the least resistance to a less popular program.  [/quote]
