These schools are the peers of most of the IB schools. Should we remove AP from these schools?[/quote]

Not sure I understand the purpose of this post.  I really don't think the National Merit list is a valid test for IB/AP.  These are a handful of students in even the top schools.  And, the deciding test, I think, is taken in the Junior year.  So, I really don't see the point of using this stat.[/quote]

The National Merit thing was brought up in a post by the troll claiming AP superiority based on NM semifinalists.   True, several IB schools have many, but the purpose of the post was to show that many AP schools don't either...I agree it is not a good measure of the quality of a school.[/quote]

The stats don't lie. [b]High SES[/b] schools [b](which happen to be AP)[/b] attract more bright kids and have more NMSFs. Why pay more for IB when it attracts so few of the county's strongest students? [/quote]
