3 ideas for your consideration:-
(1) First of all, you need to consider whether your girl is a IB person. By that, I mean whether she can handle 2 languages, maths, science and humanity subjects reasonably well. Some kids just can't do science and some can't manage humanity subjects. In A-levels, you can pick and choose what you like. But in IB, you don't have this luxury. Of course, you could choose to do SL in your weak subjects. Even then, some kids just can't do it.
(2) When we look at a school's university destination records, we must look at the subjects these kids take as well. For example, in UK, we see some schools have a large number of students going to Oxbridge. But if we look at the details closely, you will see that a lot of these students take eg. Classics, History, Natural Science, English... etc. Not that these aren't great subjects, but are these the subjects that your kids want to take? If not, the fact that the school has a lot of these students going to Oxbridge might not be as relevant as it first appears.
(3) If your kid joins the school in Lower 6, she might be competing for leadership roles etc. with students who have been studying in the school a lot longer. Will she be able to stand out? Will the teachers have sufficient time to get to know her well enough in order to write her a recommendation that would reflect her true potential?
There is no right or wrong. Every case is different. But I think the above factors are worth considering as well. |
