[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why we continue to use SAT scores as a measure of school quality. SATs, and years of education research bear this out, say that the SAT reflects more the SES status of a child's parents than it does the quality of instruction at a given school.

This is what I've gleaned from this thread:

1. Marshall is a perfectly good school.
2. Do not suggest it compares in any way with Langley, McLean, Madison or Oakton lest you provoke the wrath of the DCUM education trolls. 
3. Given the snobbery on display by the parents of students at the above schools, I'm happy my daughter attends Marshall and that we chose for her to go there for the IB.

Happy first day of school![/quote]

Better watch out for the slip and slide!
