[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if there's just one poster who keeps claiming IB is better college prep than AP or if there are several. There certainly seems to be a lot of information that AP students perform better academically, at least in FCPS.[/quote]

I'm one of the posters who wants more information to better understand the issue. Not in FCPS, and no students at HS level yet. I think anyone objective can see that some schools/students have higher test scores. What no one has yet demonstrated is whether that has anything to do with AP vs. IB, or whether it simply reflects the demographics of the school. Also not clear is whether IB vs. AP has had any effect on the demographics of a school, or whether the changing demographics are incidental or more related to transfer policy rather than the programs themselves.

What I have been able to discern is that there is at least one poster who is VERY upset that they were rezoned to South Lakes and seems to blame that on the IB program. [/quote]
