This Research Brief summarizes the performance of Miami-Dade Public Schools (M-DCPS) students participating in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. The IB program was offered at six M-DCPS high schools in 2015-2016. The number of IB examinations taken in M-DCPS decreased by two percentage points from 2014-2015 to 2015-2016. During the same time period, the number of IB examinations receiving passing scores increased by one percentage point. Almost two-thirds of IB examinations in M-DCPS were taken by Hispanic students, and females took 65% of the examinations. Students classified as "Other" (American Indian, Alaskan Native, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Multiracial categories) had the highest passing rates on IB examinations, followed by White students, Hispanic students, and then Black students. The passing rates for males and females were similar. At the conclusion of the 2015-2016 school year, 78% of eligible M-DCPS students received IB diplomas, an increase of three percentage points from 2014-2015.
