I don't believe that. Link please. It maybe something else BCC came up with.

91/96 seniors got their IB diploma. That info is part of the parent presentation on their website. Not sure why you wouldn’t believe it.

that's a very tiny minority of students.

Maybe 15-20% of each class decides to try for the full diploma. I don’t think that’s a tiny minority but that’s irrelevant. The original claims were that it’s a bad program that doesn’t prepare kids to get an IB diploma and that’s clearly just BS.

If the program were stronger it would have more students doing well in it. I wonder if there's some kind of internal cull that happens to help the numbers.

Internal cull????

I half expect you to start talking about Soylent Green next...

He's not a procrastinator, so there were zero late nights studying.

But he had to work much, much harder than in his non-magnet middle school, especially for his English class. Math comes easily to him, so that was a breeze.

Thanks for this. I have a DC starting RMIB in the fall. She enjoys Math but is not a strong writer. Encouraged to hear that there were no late nights!
