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

I don't think Marshall is much better academically than FCHS.   F[b]or example, if you want AP courses, you're stuck at Marshall[/b], 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]
What's even more striking is your ignorance.

If you want AP courses and are zoned for Marshall, you simply go to McLean High.  Yes you can. [/quote]

Well, of course, assuming McLean is the closest AP school (which isn't the case for everyone at Marshall) and it's not closed to transfers, but you're on your own when it comes to transportation, unless you can get permission to ride a McLean bus.

The point, however, is that FCHS has some rigorous academic offerings that Marshall simply does not offer, so I wouldn't be so quick to call Marshall "better."  [/quote]

The point is that you lied when you said "if you want AP, you're stuck at Marshall".  No one is stuck.  You're backpedaling.

Marshall has the IB program and the STEM academy.  In fact, Marshall got more pupil placement than McLean last year.  You're really grasping to find something to make FCHS look good despite poor scores.  I sympathize. It's not easy. [/quote]
