[quote=Anonymous]OP here, I can see how I may have confused matters.

I do prefer IB, we are currently zoned for IB, and I will make an effort to remain so. That said, while _I_ prefer IB, I am not the one who will be going to HS, my kids are. Suppose for one or more of my kids IB doesn't work as well as AP - hence my questions on pupil placement into an AP school.

As to the German issue, it is a tad more than a hypothetical. We have ties to the language and I would prefer kids continue with it into HS. As of a couple of years ago, Marshall used to teach German, but apparently no more. The closest AP school to us (currently, and in foreseeable move) is Madison, but Madison doesn't offer German. McLean HS does. So the context for that question was, if we wanted to pupil place to McLean because of German, and approvals are year-to-year, would they not approve after the AP German class is over. Having an understanding over this issue will help figure out what to do with language - I might just forego German in school and have them stick to the more prevalent Spanish or French.

I am trying to get enough info to see whether I should open up the home search area wider or not. The responses have been mostly helpful (except for those telling me how most people like Madison better), and I thank you. It seems from the post immediately prior that it may be easier to pupil place into IB Marshall than vice versa, that is useful to know.[/quote]
