[quote=Anonymous][quote]I am going to repeat myself since you don't want to hear this. In the three schools where it's thriving, roughly 20 percent of the students complete the IB diploma.

Also, looking at the chart the other poster provided, all you can take away is that in AP schools, a large portion of the students complete a minimum of three AP courses with a score of 3 or better. That still doesn't contradict the point that AP's strength is that it's an a-la cart program and students can tailor their coursework to their strengths and that AP schools often have the issue that there's no defined "most rigorous," which creates this arms race where students are loading up on APs as early as 9th grade.

Marshall and Robinson--and, in only one year, South Lakes are the only schools that come close.

So, let Marshall and Robinson be IB schools.

As for the stats on the AP schools, it appears to me that the percentage is much higher than 20 who receive recognition.  I can only guess, however.  The # given appears to be far higher than 20% of the graduating class, but I do think that DD received some kind of recognition after junior year, so it may encompass more than just graduating seniors.
