[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you can go wrong with either of those schools. If I had a kid who was very strong at math and science, but didn't have any desire to do the full IB program, I might pupil place to Madison, assuming I could deal with the transportation. They'll definitely be other kids from Kilmer there. If he's a good, but not great, student who just happens to be stronger at math and science, I'd probably just go with Marshall and expect that he'd take some IB math/science courses, but not do the full IB diploma. Schools will still see that he's taken some IB courses, and an increasing number of schools give credit for good scores on IB exams, if that matters. You wouldn't have to worry about transportation if he attends his base school, and most kids from Kilmer go to Marshall, not Madison. Marshall's also smaller than Madison, so the school arguably does a better job of looking out after all its students. [/quote]
