[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still think the 99% IB participation rates listed for Mason and Marshall are bogus. Will be interesting to see if FCPS puts out a press release that touts these ratings, or instead waits until they've been scrubbed more closely. [/quote] I teach at Marshall and I was confused by this, too. Most if not all of my students never take an IB class so the 99% is suspect to me. That said, Marshall is still a great school with a lot to offer its students and IB is not everything IMO.[/quote] PP here. I checked the US News website and that 99% is based on 12th grade students who took at least 1 IB exam during their time at Marshall. That may be true for the students who actually graduate, but there are still many students who will never graduate from high school (ESOL, etc) even at Marshall, and this statistic doesn't take that into account.
