[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what Eastern’s IB results look like? Is it a strong program?[/quote]

No way.  Eastern's average IB Diploma pass points totals are the IB equivalent of a D.  Most of their "full" IB Diploma candidates fail even to pass with the lowest acceptable points total (24 points on a scale of 24-45 points).  IB subject exams are graded in Geneva, so no fudging results.[/quote]

This is depressing. Why even offer IB then? Stick to AP classes. DCPS tries to offer too many options and then cannot manage them well.
I still don’t understand why Deal is IB and I have multiple kids there [/quote]

Deal is IB because it guarantees science, social studies and language are offered every day and was implemented as part of the effort to entice UMC parents to enroll (newsflash -- it worked).  That said it is not clear (to me) that the current Administration really supports IB and it seems to be eroding due to policies such as the DCPS zero grading which is at odds with the IB scoring system.[/quote]
