[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kennedy has had an IB programs for a long time now, but it was just the diploma program(11/12th grade).  MCPS expanding the  IB program to be a regional offering in multiple places following the pandemic, so now it’s supposed to be a 9-12th program for accepted students.  This year is the first graduating class of that model.

Kennedy has pre-IB classes now?[/quote]

Yes.[/quote]

So students who didn't win lottery for RM get into Kennedy for 9th and 10th?[/quote]

Not sure if students who apply and don't get into RMIB are automatically referred to Kennedy's Regional IB Program if they aren't selected, but yes, it is an option for kids if they are rejected from RMIB and live within the DCC and still want the cohort-style IB program throughout all 4 years of high school.[/quote]

Kennedy's IB region includes not only the DCC but also BCC, Churchill, Whitman, and Walter Johnson.[/quote]

One wonders how many from Churchill, Whitman or WJ have attended the Kennedy regional IB program.  I would suspect very few, and likely none from BCC, as their own local IB offering was considered much better.

My understanding is that there wasn't automatic referral from a declined RMIB app to a regional, as all magnet apps are supposed to be handled separately.  I could be wrong, though.[/quote]

I know a student zoned to B-CC who goes to Kennedy’s IB program. Deciding factor was the availability of pre-IB classes, which B-CC does not have. [/quote]

Are they planning to switch back for 11th & 12th grades?[/quote]

No. The stidentnis entering 12th at Kennedy. [/quote]
