[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the Challenge Index is very accurate when it comes to the private schools because of the intense focus on AP.[/quote] There is no focus on AP tests at WIS. In fact, there are no AP classes at WIS. It's an IB school, and most students graduate with a bilingual IB diploma. Some students take AP tests on their own for a variety of reasons (and they do wonderfully, I'm told, despite never haven taken AP classes unless they came to WIS from another school), but the school has nothing to do with it. [/quote] This! Exactly the point I am trying to make and I have no connection to WIS. The IB diploma and AICE diploma are legit. Schools that offer these program are going to rank well and should! They offer so much more than the AP courses. [/quote]
