[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very true. We live in the Marshall district and have heard most people say the IB program there is not as preferred as the AP program at McLean or Madison. I just think Marshall is lucky in that it straddles two very wealthy areas in McLean and Vienna plus draws kids who don't want to go to Falls Church for it's IB program. There are kids who want IB, just not as many as the ones who want AP. And Marshall has a fantastic academy program which is probably more of a draw than its IB program. Some of the children attending Marshall are happy to have some advanced classes while being able to take advantage of a great academy program not offered anywhere else close by. They also offer more Chinese than any of the other schools nearby I think.[/quote] I know Honors and AP/IB classes get an extra .5 and 1.0 added to the grade. Is a non-AP or non-IB Academy class at Marshall, Falls Church, etc. also weighted? [/quote]
