[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the kids transferring into IB schools generally do it only if the IB school has a higher socioeconomic level than their home school.[/quote] Complete B.S.[/quote] Agree. Marshall gets some kids for IB from Langley, McLean and Madison - all higher SES. South Lakes gets kids from Oakton - also higher SES. On the other hand, the ability to pupil place also allows kids at IB schools to transfer to higher SES AP schools. So you can argue it's worth paying more for IB if it expands school choice, but that still doesn't mean there need to be eight IB high schools in the county. We end up paying for separate IB coordinators at every MS and HS with an IB program, which adds up. [/quote]
