IB and AP conflict

Sorry if the info was little bland. I’m a Sophomore who’s currently in the AP program and will be taking Calculus BC next year, IB is a new program in our school that will officially recognize our school next year. I’m worried that the teachers won’t master the way the program works by the time of next year, thus I feel like I’m a test subject to see how things will go. In addition to that problem there will be a (basically new) renovated high school that was torn down and rebuilt and that has the AP program only. The reason this new school is in my interest is because most of my family graduated there and it seems as if it’s better than my current high school. The thing that worries me is that there are only 3 IB schools in our city district and I’m worried that if I don’t take this opportunity to join IB I may regret my decision later on. IB looks better and seems more interesting, but people say AP and Ib are equal in which makes me question what path I should take. It seems like IB’s just another name for AP, just not as flexible.
