If you are already in the Urbana area, then it’s a very easy process, you basically need above average grades (A’s and B’s) and you’re guaranteed to get in. However, if you’re outside of the Urbana district, then there’s a very limited amount of spots, and they’ll only take the best ones on a sort of “lottery system”.

Our DC is still in elementary but I remember looking for this information on the Urbana and FCPS webpages. There’s a contact for the IB program who can answer all of your questions.

I unfortunately don’t recall their name at the moment, I just remembered that there was a specific e-mail address and contact number for the program.

Well not sure if you are coming from out of county or not but I believe you need all As, perhaps one B and a few teacher recommendations. I wanted my kids to do it but their friends thought Urbana was too big (ie to get on sports teams, be in plays)
