I have an older child in IB at the same school but older child does not have any LDs so I can't use her for comparison. DD sees the biggest selling point as a large group of nerdy kids who care about school. The school usually starts out with about 200 "pre-IB" kids but then only have 100 to 125 do the actual IB program during their junior and senior years. The kids who drop IB tend to populate the AP/honors classes once they migrate away from IB.

Thanks for the suggestions to talk to the counselors about what, if any, accommodations may be available. They did allow extra time on the entrance exam and DD's composite was 99th percentile. I don't know if they would be less accommodating once she gets to the school.
