[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI scores in the bottom half of the word in IB scores.

Not impressed.

There are schools in India in areas with a fraction of the income of the DMV that do better in IB.[/quote]

True.  But at least DCI does better than Banneker or Eastern.

However, Montgomery County IB runs circles around it.[/quote]

[b]You can move to MC, apply for their IB program and basically have a 10% chance of getting a spot.[/b]

They just implemented a lottery so if your kid meets their admissions criteria, it’s now a lottery instead of a committee selecting. Still around 10% odds if they get similar number of applicants as in the past.

Good luck with that.  They are also very well established programs that have been around for a while.  Totally different than DCI program but if you self select only the top 1-2% kids in the city, sure comparison is similar. [/quote]  What are you talking about?  The IB Diploma at Richard Montgomery HS in Rockville?  There are SEVEN high school IB programs in MoCo but only the one at Richard Montgomery is an application magnet.  The Bethesda Chevy Chase IBD program is just as high-performing as RM, but not test-in.  A few of the others IBD programs in MoCo are higher-performing than DCI.  https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/specialprograms/high/ib.aspx#tabs-4[/quote]
