[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Vienna community is not at all relaxed. It is hyper competitive on youth sports, academics, wealth, popularity and pretty much anything else people can be competitive about. [/quote]

OP Here; That actually sounds amazing[/quote]

DP and it is true but can be a little extreme.  Your kid will have opportunities in every area.  I didn’t grow up in this area and it’s unbelievable how competitive it is.  DC doesn’t mind it.  But sometimes DH and I do and this is why we wonder if we should have sent them to Marshall.

But you Vienna a great town for kids.  If they play any sports, are in band or theater and are VERY competitive, you will like Madison. [/quote]

Thanks for that random dig at Marshall.  Marshall is highly competitive also.  All of high income areas of NOVA are like this.  Pretty sure Marshall ranks higher than Madison most years.[/quote]

Take my comment as you want but we regret that we didn’t buy a house where our kids could go to Marshall. I was being honest.  My kids are and were okay at Madison.  Both said they would have been happier at Marshall. I have posted that before. People have come on here and been rude, told me how I’m the minority and how I could have pupil placed them. All of that is true.  We were not willing to provide our own transportation for all of high school.

Look, both schools are great.  Your kids will likely have friends at both.  My kids ended up having more friends at Marshall because of their ECs and because they attended Kilmer.  I understand the new boundaries are taking care of the middle school split for the future.

I’m not sure what you mean by ranking, but it is easier to make teams at Marshall than Madison.  Much easier.  [/quote]
