Overall, the picture that emerges is that IB participation at Edison is increasing, and the students seem to do about as well on the IB tests there as at other FCPS schools with IB programs.  However, in comparson with some other county schools, such as Marshall and Robinson, the percentage of Edison students who obtain the full IB diploma is low.  [/quote]

That's true, but also largely irrelevant to the information that I posted.  The information seems to indicate that the Edison students who took IB courses did well on the IB exams compared to students from other schools.  At the same time, it indicates that a smaller percentage of Edison students pursued the full IB diploma than at other schools.  They may have still received IB certificates and, for that matter, obtained college credits based on the results of the IB exams they took.

Yes, it appears that although the number of students in the IB program is somewhat low, they are doing well on the IB exams. Thank you for the data. I sincerely appreciate it.

It sounds like if my children do reasonably well, their chances of getting into a good school are decent. [/quote]
