[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's telling that the school profiles on the FCPS web site don't disclose the number of IB diploma candidates or recipients at the eight IB high/secondary schools. They don't want you to know. [/quote] Actually, they do for Robinson. 80 percent of the students who attempt it, get the diploma. That's much higher than the world wide attempt to complete ratio. I think other schools have this data as well. I seem to recall that the cohorts were smaller, but they had strong success rates. Personally, I think the program is fantastic. Smaller classes, more individual attention and writing feedback, and actual mentorship. It's a cool program and if a kid is bright enough and hard working enough to complete it, I think kudos. -Lake Braddock mom who has no kids in IB because she's lazy and doesn't want to drive them, lol :)[/quote]
