[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI if I was an MCPS administrator looking at where to place an IB magnet in region 1, I would not look at Einstein. Their scores are not good, across all demographic groups.[/quote]

But their scores would be better if they had a criteria-based regional magnet.[/quote]

No, I don't think so. Rockville HS has a purely local program and Kennedy HS had a criteria based programs and Rockville has much better scores than both Kennedy and Einstein.[/quote]

Rockville's IB also is centered on the Career Programme vs. the Diploma Programme at Kennedy.  The difficulty of achieving particular IB test scores may differ between the programs (it may not, of course, just throwing that out there as a possibility).

In addition to Kennedy's being a hard draw due to location/reputation of the school relative to the regional IB catchment, those seeking the highest IB[i]DP[/i] achievement preferentially head to RM (if admitted).  There isn't a higher-level IB[i]CP[/i] in MCPS than that offered at Rockville to draw away those who might score higher.[/quote]
