I know that Northport just a couple of years ago was boasting that they have the only IB program on Long Island. I don't know if that has changed.

Interesting comment about this:

Thomas Sowell, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, describes the IBDP as a "kind of indoctrination" and "one of the endless series of fad programs that distract American public schools from real education in real subjects.

I thought that all schools are supposed to be gravitating toward IB and that it will eventually completely replace AP classes. Does anyone know if this is in fact the case? This is why I posed the question initially-- we are looking to move and thought moving to a district with IB would be good to be a liitle "ahead".
