You are deliberately misunderstanding my post. BCC has way fewer AP courses than many other high schools, including WJ and WW. This is a fact borne out your own chart. IB course are NOT AT ALL the same as AP courses. In math, they are much lower-level. [b]The IB is not as recognized by universities as AP courses. [/b]So it's entirely useless to lump the two together and claim that BCC another high schools have "more" courses.

You're comparing apples to oranges and generating confusion here. Talk about AP and IB separately.

Because they're not AP courses?

Conversely, universities don't recognize AP courses as IB courses, because they're not IB courses![/quote]

I guess if you are a Whitman over BCC booster you *would* have to entirely discredit the IB program since if you include it, BCC has a much wider variety of high level courses! And, of course, BCC kids can mix & match & take both AP & IB courses regardless of whether they are fully enrolled in the IB program or not. [/quote]
