[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker is designed to keep the IB program small. This year, for 9th graders, they capped the number of students they accepted into pre-IB. The average IB class in 11th & 12th (when the full-fledged IB program starts, rather than pre-IB) is about 25 students. My understanding is that they keep it small due to resources and because it is an intense program not designed for everyone, that as a result they all pass; the Principal said something during the summer institute about how the IB Math scores at Banneker were some of the highest in the US. I can't cite this fact b/c I don't know where the data comes from: just telling you what was circulated. [/quote] They do have a few kids drop out from the IB track. I think two switched to AP this year. It is an intense program that requires an additional class before and after school.[/quote]
