[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a conceit to think having four IB schools would make them "magnets." It's the AP schools in the higher SES areas that are truly magnets, as they attract the highest achieving students. The only way to have an IB "magnet" is to limit admission and then require students to seek the full diploma, as at RM in MoCo. Otherwise you just have one more school that would be better served by AP.[/quote] They serve as a magnet because typically about 3-4 other high schools feed into them. This is the way Marshall High School is working now.[/quote] Yes, but on the other hand many people avoid the Marshall district entirely because it's IB. You have to consider the net effect. [/quote]
