[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eight IB high schools in FCPS and only 13 National Merit Semifinalists among them?  What a weak showing.

No wonder people prefer the AP schools.[/quote]

Is this the same PP who always comes back with stats on costs, demographics, rankings, numbers of IB diplomas granted, etc.? I see these posts on every IB/AP thread and wonder if it's one person or a handful.

I won't argue with your numbers. I don't sit around totaling which schools have semifinalists or what various schools' demographics are now, or were back in the past. I send my kid to the academic program that works best for my kid, right now, and don't know or care how many semifinalists our school had last year, or whether IB somehow affects white flight somewhere over decades. Today, this week and this year, my teen is doing the program he chose and likes. Yeah, it's all about us. Just as it is for families happy with AP or Academies or honors or whatever works for their kids. Not sure why you are so angry al the time about a program your family doesn't want.[/quote]
