[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How come madison and marshall sat scores are so close if madison is the whitest and richest where as marshall has 20% poors and fewer whites.[/quote]

Marshall has a higher percentage of students than Madison who take vocational courses and never sit for the SATs.[/quote]

Marshall offers these classes and Madison doesn't. Personally I wish more schools would offer a wider variety of hands on classes. They are beneficial both to people who don't want to go to college and those that do.[/quote]

A Madison student who wants to take an Academy class can take them at Marshall or Falls Church. The vocational courses tend to be offered at schools with higher percentages of students who are not college-bound. [/quote]

You mean at schools where fewer students have the resources to afford college. Big difference.[/quote]

Your interpretation, not mine.  Money is not the only consideration.  Aptitude and aspirations also play a role.[/quote]
