[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's pretty obvious that those posting at 12:01 and 12:09 are not even trying to be objective.  Exaggerated accusations, which don't reflect our experience at the school, are of no help.

For what it's worth, our daughter is at Marshall Road and we've been satisfied with her education.  (And we most definitely do not have low expectations.)  Is she being pushed/challenged to achieve her full potential?  No, but this is not likely to happen at any Fairfax County public school given class sizes, resource constraints, etc.  In fact, we have good friends in more highly rated schools in Vienna and often compare notes on our respective schools' curriculum, homework, etc. and I don't see a meaningful difference.  Also, three of the families in our greater neighborhood include a spouse who is a professional educator (including at the university level) and they are all fine with sending their kids to Marshall Road.  Finally, our son went on to AAP and was NOT behind his classmates from other elementary schools.  [/quote]

So have you experienced the school beyond 2nd grade for either child?[/quote]

good question.[/quote]
