[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Here- I don't have kids yet, so forgive me. Is IB less desirable than AP? Why?[/quote]

In Fairfax County, all of the "good" high schools have AP.

I took AP in high school, and will be sending my children to a high school that offers AP classes. Even the top prep schools that my managers and directors send their kids to offer AP classes.[/quote]

So, most DCUM people would consider Marshall and Robinson "good" schools, and they are IB.  Many would consider South Lakes a "good" school, and it is IB.  The rest get disparaged, but they have their supporters.

The issue here really ought not to be whether the "good" schools have AP, but whether IB is the right program for the schools that have it.  The data suggests to me that this isn't the case, and that there's an over-supply of IB in one part of the county. It's as if FCPS handed out IB like Halloween candy in eastern Fairfax for a few years, but isn't willing to admit that it didn't have such a great shelf life. [/quote]
