If you prefer AP, five classes don’t cut it. Lots of kids transfer to Lake Braddock.
And if you prefer iB you go to Robinson --as we did when we had the choice. But it was nice to have the AP courses sophomore year as a supplement to the IB sophomore year before the IB diploma begins. We're so lucky to have this flexibility and to have a large enough system where there are so many options. Friends in more remote locations talk of having 5 AP courses total offered in their school--with no IB.

That’s not many. What about sciences? Economics? Languages?
Does anyone know how many students enroll in AP classes at Lee?

IB classes are just as good as AP ones, and internationally recognized.

No IB high school in FCPS offers close to a full menu of AP courses.

Wondering if all IB HS offer AP classes. I read on the Lee HS thread AP classes were added several years ago to stop pupil placing out. In another thread about Robinson secondary, a parent mentioned Robinson offers AP and IB classes. Why were AP classes added at Robinson?
Is this true for all IB HS in FCPS? Is there a IB program with only IB classes?
