[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the Madison pyramid, so I don't have a dog in this fight--but: I think if you ask most "neutral" parents who don't have a kid at either school-- I think that you will find that 90 percent of them think McLean is hands down the "better" school by reputation. I do. That's not to say that Marshall is a bad school, it's not. And I wouldn't for a second think that McLean has MORE of a drinking/drug problem than Marshall. If anything, it may be the other way around. I think McLean draws from a slightly wealthier community, and so you get all that goes with that: highly educated parents, highly motivated kids, some level of "pressure cooking" and I'm sure some number of strugglling (rich) kids who probably have the money to invest in more expensive drug habits. But if I had the choice, I'd send my kids to McLean over Marshall.[/quote]
