[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any other thoughts about Woodson aside from the stress issue?

Also, very little has been said about Marshall aside from comments on its demographics.  What's the culture like there and how does it compare to the other schools mentioned?[/quote]

Again, there is no over-riding "culture" at any of the HS, they are too large and too diverse.  You will find the "culture" you seek at any of them.

If you want IB, then you want Marshall.  If you want AP, then you do not want Marshall.  [/quote]

This.  My DD is at madison, I see different cultures.  There is a sports culture, a band culture, a drama culture, a chorus culture, etc.  They all interact during classes.[/quote]

I'm so glad there are some people with common sense here.  My DC is at Langley.  Just like all the other schools mentioned, there are various cultures within the school - which is why it's easy to find your group.  There's something for everyone at any of these schools.  [b]It's silly to ask about the "culture" at one school or another, or how they vary, because there honestly isn't that much difference between any of them. [/b] They're all good schools with plenty to offer.  And - it's high school.  We've all been there, so it's not too hard to imagine what it's like nowadays.  [/quote]

So you would disagree, for example, that Woodson is any more stressful or competitive than any other FCPS HS?  [/quote]

Since I don't have a child at Woodson, I'm in no position to make sweeping generalizations about this school.  Do you have a child there?  If not, I'd say you know as much about it as I do.[/quote]
