[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The STEM program just opened up at Marshall, the amount of students from McLean and Madison will only increase.

As for traffic it's not that big of a deal, but please keep your kids away from marshall so that you spots can be open for those that are waiting.[/quote]

Just taking an Academy class won't show up as a pupil placement.  It's possible that the expanded Marshall Academy may lead to more pupil placements, which would actually help balance out the enrollments at the three schools.

Traffic in Tysons, however, is a big deal, and no one who is objective claims otherwise.  You can avoid the center of Tysons if you live on the south side of Vienna, in which case you can take Cedar and Idylwood to Route 7 not far from Marshall.  If you live in other parts of the Madison district, you either have to go through Tysons or go far out of your way to avoid it to get to Marshall.  If there are later start times, Tysons traffic near Marshall will be more, not less, of a factor to consider.     [/quote]
