[b]For members of the class of 2014 that pursued IB diplomas, 76 percent of them successfully completed the IB Diploma requirements and 388 students were awarded the IB diploma[/b]

Can someone explain this to me?  Does this mean that 388 equals 76% of those pursuing the IB diploma or does it mean that 76% successfully completed the requirements but not all passed the tests?  That only 388 scored high enough to get the diploma?  [/quote]

There were apparently 510 or 511 IB Diploma candidates spread over the eight IB schools.  388 completed the requirements successfully.  122 or 123 did not.  There is a scoring system to get an IB diploma.  You can do worse in class but still get a diploma if you do better on the exams, or vice versa.  It's complicated and you don't even find out until a couple of months after you've started college.
