If there's any "oversize presence of a particular ethnicity" at either Marshall or Falls Church, it's the white population at Marshall, and you know it.  Falls Church is a more diverse school than Marshall, period.

And you can keep repeating that it's a "fact" that "Marshall is a better school than FCHS" all you want, but Falls Church may be a better environment for some students than Marshall.  And, even if it weren't, it wouldn't mean that FCHS deserves the type of insults that people trying to convince others that PH is a chill place keep doling out.  [/quote]
I guess it doesn't occur to you that white people can come from many countries of the world.  You probably see them as a homogenous chunk of humanity.  That also is on you.  Neither Marshall nor PH want for diversity,

It's not an insult to say Marshall is better than FCHS.   I don't think I ever insulted it, so you can save your wrath for someone who does. [/quote]

By any measure of diversity employed by county, state or federal officials, Falls Church is more diverse than Marshall.  If you want to stick your head in the sand and pretend otherwise, that's on you.

Diversity is not a pass/fail criteria.  It's possible to be less diverse than FCHS and still diverse enough.  Marshall is hardly lily-white.  It's a diverse school by any measure.  Is it possible to be EVEN MORE diverse? Sure.  But parents don't really look for diversity in isolation, do they?

What about this?   "FCHS is more diverse than Marshall.  Marshall is also very diverse, but FCHS is even more so.  Marshall is also much better academically."  Happy?

I am not really sure why you are hammering this point down, other than a weird desire to find something, anything in which FCHS excels. [/quote]

What's most striking is your insistence on having the last word.

I don't think Marshall is much better academically than FCHS.   For example, if you want AP courses, you're stuck at Marshall, whereas FCHS offers over two dozen AP courses.

If you just want to regurgitate standardized test scores, then Marshall comes out ahead, which is what you'd expect given the greater SES diversity at FCHS.  Whether an individual student would do better at Marshall than at FCHS is an open question.    [/quote]
