[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Robinson parent. While parents I know, myself included, are happy with the school overall and wouldn’t transfer our kids, I think most of us would prefer AP for the school over IB. There would be a couple of messy years to grandfather in IB if there were a switch (for kids to finish out diplomas, finish second year of two-year courses). But I don’t think a switch would be that disruptive given most kids don’t begin IB classes until junior year.[/quote]

Also a Robinson parent. Totally agree. Why haven't we made this happen??[/quote]

Some Lewis (Lee at the time) parents tried some time ago to get the county to switch back to AP and they did manage to get some AP classes. But the county absolutely refused to budge on IB overall. And that is a school with much less IB success than Robinson.

So unless you get a massive parent movement together to fight for AP, you are not likely to get the county to budge at Robinson (one of the more successful IB programs).[/quote]
