[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter decided to go to the JFK Regional IB Program but I wonder what the acceptance rate for that is because I've heard that it isn't nearly as competitive as the RM Program. Is the RM program better than the one they provide at JFK?[/quote] RM is more competitive to get into, so they have more high flyers from around the county. But it's the same IB diploma when all is said and done.[/quote] But since MCPS schools offer courses based on "community pull," the individual courses (and level) within each IB program are determined by the perceived interest level from the IB student population. So a large proportion of high fliers results in HL courses being available where they might not be without that large proportion, even if there are a few individuals at a school in the latter situation who might want/might benefit from the HL course (or breadth of available courses).[/quote]
