[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friends in langley and mclean used to call marshall the ghetto school back in the early 90s. [b]These types of stereotypes dont die until that generation does regardless of reality.[/quote][/b]

Yup.  +100    And that's just fine with Marshall families who would prefer the school remains a welcoming place where the students and the parents aren't so full of themselves and have better things to do than look at meaningless rankings.  Lower median SAT scores mean nothing when your kid's are perfect.  [/quote]
[b]That's a laugh. The culture at Marshall in recent years has been very focused on the school's rankings and test scores. Anyone who has driven by the school and seen the school's electronic billboard or walked inside and seen the huge display about the SOL scores knows that.[/quote][/b]

Believe what you want.  I've had three kids go there, two currently, so I'm part of the Marshall community and know what goes on there.  You apparently, have no firsthand experience of the school, but are able to discern what it's like from an electronic billboard out front.   :roll:

GCM administrators are big boosters of the kids and the school.  They like to celebrate successes and that positive vibe (even when it goes a bit over the top) permeates the school.  Who wouldn't like that attitude at a school?[/quote]
