[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]IB lists $2,610,237 as the cost above general ed and an enrollment of 2898. That would be $901 additional per student. For AP the cost above general ed is $3,433,013 and enrollment is 16,301 students so that would be $211 additional per student. [/quote] Time for IB to go in FCPS.[/quote] I've heard from some parents that FCPS is considering scaling back IB because of the expense. Since there is demand for the program, I expect FCPS to keep two or three schools IB in different parts of the county. [/quote] Personally, I'd keep IB at (1) either Marshall or South Lakes, (2) either Annandale or Stuart and (3) either Lee or Edison. I'd get rid of it at Mount Vernon, where the IB participation rate is very low, and at Robinson, where most parents would prefer to have AP like Lake Braddock. Cutting back to three IB schools would meet the demand and save money. [/quote]
