[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are Longfellow students who don't go to TJ happy at McLean?  We noticed that Marshall "recruits" for IB at Longfellow, but apparently McLean does not bother to "recruit" for AP at Kilmer.  It makes me wonder why Marshall tries harder to interest students in their school. Are the McLean administrators lazy or do they just think the school already has enough students?

I think you are off base on your assumptions about intent.  Marshall comes to Longfellow becasue some of Longfellow's student matriculate to Marshall based on their residency. Same for Langely and same for McLean.  I am not aware of zoned Kilmer students who are zoned for McLean.  I would assume that Kilmer gets Langley, Marshall and Madison as those are the zoned high schools for the Kilmer student base.  Why would McLean go when there are already two AP high schools attending and they have no zoned students?  One school is not "trying harder" that another.

McLean is a much smaller school than Longfellow (by graduating class size) becasue so many students from Longfellow are from other HS pyramids and so many zoned students attend TJ.  It is a welcome relief and a great school.  [/quote]

No Longfellow students matriculate to Marshall unless they pupil place there for IB.  They'd otherwise go to McLean, Langley or TJ. But Marshall comes to Longfellow anyway.[/quote]

Then this is very recent change as there were matriculating Marshall students at Longfellow when my DC (now a junior) attended Longfellow.  So, perhaps itis out of habit. One of them, we knew lived on the other side of Route 7 beyond Wolftrap near Blueberry Hill.  The others were AAP. [/quote]
