This Research Brief summarizes the performance of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) students participating in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. The IB program was offered at six M-DCPS high schools in 2017-2018. Over 3,000 examinations were taken by M-DCPS students in 27 subject areas in 2017-2018. The number of IB examinations taken in M-DCPS decreased by eight percentage points from 2016-2017 to 2017-2018. The District's Hispanic students took 68% of all IB examinations in 2017-2018. From 2016-2017 to 2017-2018, the percentage of examinations taken by Hispanic and Black students increased, the percentage of examinations taken by White students decreased, and the percentage of examinations taken by students classified as "Other" (Alaskan Native, American Indian, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Multiracial categories) remained stable. Overall, the percentage of IB examinations receiving passing scores remained stable at 80% from 2016-2017 to 2017-2018. At the conclusion of the 2017-2018 school year, 77% of eligible MDCPS students received IB diplomas, an increase of six percentage points from 2016-2017.
