[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] FCPS had 237 National Merit Semifinalists this school year. 163 go to TJ, which has AP and more advanced courses, and no IB. Of the remaining 74, 68 attend AP schools and only six go to IB schools, even though one-third of the high schools in the county excluding TJ are IB. The record of IB schools in FCPS is underwhelming at best. The six high schools in FCPS with the highest SATs are all AP. Of the seven with the lowest scores, five are IB. FCPS tried to replace AP with IB at Woodson, and the parents forced them to restore AP. And, there has never been a plan to redistrict students from an AP school to an IB school that was not met with protests. [/quote] Successful students =/= NMSF[/quote] AP schools in FCPS = more NMSF, higher SATs, higher graduation rates, higher college readiness metrics, more science competition winners, more net pupil placements, etc. [/quote]
