Thanks to ibiv and the push to implement IB, it prompted some of us to research IB and other options. We discovered and posted on 5/20/10 that IHS currently has all the classes in place to offer the APID.

The AP classes will save our graduates untold amounts of money. According to Crux Research "more than 90% of colleges and universities in the US accept AP exam grades for credit and/or advanced placement." While, "the percentage of U.S universities recognizing IB is less than 50%." In addition - unlike IB and the IB diploma, students are not penalized by colleges for not getting the APID.
Unlike IB, by maintaining AP we do not compromise other current successful programs in Incline schools. Even though Incline currently has a larger percentage of students taking AP than any other high school in the District we should focus on preparing even more students to be successful with AP (college level) courses. The SpringBoard program from the College Board is designed to do just that; it was recently started at a middle school in Reno.

NOW IS THE TIME TO COME TOGETHER AND IMPROVE OUR SCHOOLS - ESPECIALLY K-8.
