[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS could also balance demographics by getting rid of IB. IB allows hundreds of higher SES kids in many of the poorer schools to pupil place to higher SES AP schools. It also allows higher SES kids zoned for Falls Church, which is AP, to pupil place to Marshall, which is IB. [/quote] I don't think you're going to find much support for that. Those motivated parents and kids who Pupil place to higher SES AP and IB schools are the ambitious kids that FCPS wants - they are primed to succeed and the parents will revolt if they can't find a way to access what the AAP and higher SES schools offer. "Balancing demographics" is not an FCPS objective (despite some cheap talk) - serving ambitious, motivated kids is a big concern, and avoiding confrontation with their motivated, activated parents is another.[/quote]
