[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB is trendy and overrated.  The IB high schools in FCPS have, with one exception due to geography, declined since IB replaced AP.  Not a single AP school in the county wants IB, parents at one school successfully rebelled and got FCPS to restore AP, and FCPS did not make IB the college-prep curriculum at the two high schools it built after the initial wave of AP-to-IB conversions (Westfield and South County).  Now it needs to acknowledge how few students at most IB schools participate in the program and terminate IB at the majority of IB high schools in the county.  That would give students better options and save money over the long run.
