[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a fact that in Fairfax, the public high schools with IB are the low-performing schools with the lowest SES students. The majority higher SES schools are AP. Draw any conclusion you wish from that fact.[/quote]

Fairfax is very real about the fact that most college-bound students in the area are not particularly interested in receiving an IB diploma? Why not? Because they plan to attend local schools with their friends. Their goal is Tech, UVA or even if out of state, a school in this country!

Their families see no practical reason for an IB diploma so why bother?

It's cute for DC to offer the program, but they should also be more practical and reasonable. [b]How many of their IB graduates will really go to college abroad?[/quote][/b]

Is IB only for students bound for international schools?[/quote]

It is not. I skipped two years of college because I got so many credits from my IB diploma.

I think most of the people posting here have no idea what they're talking about.
