Top International Baccalaureate Schools
Top International Baccalaureate Schools Methodology
The International Baccalaureate program is globally recognized for its ability to prepare students for a college education. High school students enrolled in IB classes can earn college credit two ways. They can take individual IB subject tests, for which they can earn credit at some colleges if they score high enough. Students also can opt to earn an IB diploma after completing a series of IB courses and writing an extended essay. Many colleges grant students credit for the IB diploma. This chart spotlights all the IB schools in the Best High Schools rankings sorted by the percentage of 12th graders that took at least one IB test at some point during high school.
