[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB isn't the magic bullet OP. Eliot Hine MS is already offering IB and it hasn't changed its trajectory at all. https://dcps.dc.gov/ib[/quote] IB alone is not enough. It is not really IB unless most kids pass the test, ultimately. DCPS will make no progress unless it puts in enough improvement simultaneously in middle and feeders to get high income families over the hump. [/quote] It's not actually terribly difficult to "pass" the International Baccalaureate with a points total that clears the bar (24 or 25 points of a possibly 45). A C student who's diligent can pull it off. What you want to see with IBD is an average pass points total in the 30s. There are 8 or 9 public suburban examples within 15 miles of the US Capitol. In DC, we have two pretty hopeless public IBD programs, one at Eastern, the other at Banneker. Most of the students "pass," but with shameful IB points totals, in the mid 20s.[/quote]
