[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually surprised to see that TJ is AP so what's the reason for IB?[/quote] It was trendy in the 90s, so FCPS stuck it in mostly lower-performing schools thinking higher-income families might be more likely to stay if they thought the IB program was a "school within a school." [/quote] Isn't that wonderful. For god's sake! They need to get rid of that stupid program and bring back AP across the board.[/quote] IB was introduced at schools in FCPS between 1994 and 2001: Mount Vernon (1994), Stuart (1994), Marshall (1997), Edison (1998), Robinson (1998), South Lakes (1999), Annandale (2001), Lee (2001). The enthusiasm for new IB schools then began to wane. There hasn't been a new IB school in FCPS for over a decade, and the high schools built since the mid-90s (Westfield and South County) are both AP. [/quote]
