“Research released earlier this year by the International Baccalaureate showed that the IB is a pathway to success in post-secondary education.
The first year retention rate of Diploma Programme students was 98 percent, compared to the national retention rate of 77 percent, and the four year graduation rate among all DP participants (those who earned or attempted the DP diploma) was 79 percent.
The four year graduation rate for DP diploma earners was 84 percent, compared to 39 percent nationally.”
