[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB sucks and is placed at lower performing schools to try to draw in kids to raise the overall feel and tests scores of that school. Stay away from IB schools.[/quote] It is placed at lower performing schools because, in theory, IB is a draw. There are many people and colleges that value the IB program.[/quote] IB programs have been at eight high schools in FCPS for 20-25 years, which is more than enough time for FCPS to have learned that its approach to IB is a failure. Parents are more interested in strong schools than “schools within a school” and the percentage of IB diploma recipients ranges from 2% to 20% of the seniors at the IB schools. In general, IB is more of an albatross in FCPS than a draw. [/quote]
