[quote=Anonymous]George Mason only has IB. I was very surprised to see only 30% of the kids attempt the IB diploma given the fact the SES is very high, low FARMS percentage. The houses still sell like crazy and everyone raves about the schools yet at best only 1/3 kids get the diploma. So-everyone thinks their kid is in the top 30percent and when the 2/3 figure out that is not the case they are in too deep to change houses/schools? OK--maybe FCC does attract more kids with special needs because this seems to be their strength but that maybe only 20percent or so. So what happens with the other left over 50% of kids(100-30IB-20SN)? To me they are at a clear disadvantage---they would of been better off taking at least 1AP class or a couple of them? Also with IB it seems you have to be very strong in a foreign language--usually Spanish or French--what if you are excelling at everything else but languages are your weakness?[/quote]
