IB students across the district achieved impressive results in their IB History of the Americas and Spanish B courses, with an overall pass rate of more than 94% in these courses. Students in IB Spanish B SL and HL earned a 100% pass rate. These results reflect the hard work, high expectations, and strong instruction in our Spanish IB programs.

“Both AP and IB programs are among the most rigorous academic pathways available to high school students, and the success our students achieved in these programs is something we should all celebrate,” said Suzanne Jarrard, Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning. “The challenges students take on while taking AP and IB courses build the knowledge, skills, and work ethic that will serve them well in college, career, and life beyond high school. Congratulations to these students on their hard work and achievement.”
