It was mentioned previously in the thread. Not that you can't mention it again, but it was already on the radar.

Sorry, I didn't see it.

To answer another poster, it feeds to Marshall and Madison.

LOL you are an idiot, let's cling to 20 year old cliche's, are you elderly by chance?

It's like someone saying STAY AWAY from madison or oakton because McLean is soooo much better. The truth is when you review SATs, SOLs etc... the differences between the pyramids of madison, oakton, marshall, mclean are minuscule and certain schools are stronger than others in math, english etc... should we tell

For example, Marshall is much better than Oakton and McLean, but the rest of the scores are very close.

Face it, prices for real estate are higher in ALL of the above school pyramids because they are very good. It's no accident you moron.

This is from someone who doesn't live in a Marshall pyramid but does have a clue.

Wow, how rude and uncalled for. No need to be so nasty and what's with the name calling?

Since oakton was mentioned, and I live in oakton, I will say that the schools here are wonderful. The families are very involved and very nice. We are very happy here. Good luck op.

Saying "stay away" is the same as calling out someone using "nasty comments". No one is fooled by people's thinly veiled attempts to "tactfully" put down the school. I call a spade a spade no need to beat around the bush.

No, just Marshall, though it feeds to both Kilmer and Thoreau MS. You'd have to pupil place to Madison for AP if you wanted to go there instead.

Stenwood in Dun Loring is great.
