[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]With the principal closing the school to new pupil placements, GCM may not be part of any redistricting. [/quote] What does this mean? We are zoned to Marshall, but I wouldn't have a student there until 2021.[/quote] Marshall is an IB school surrounded by AP schools. For many years, Marshall actively courted pupil placements for its IB program from Langley, McLean, Madison and Falls Church, even at the risk of overcrowding the school. More recently, however, FCPS expanded the school (it now says Marshall can accommodate over 2300 kids) and the principal has closed the school to new pupil placements so GCM can concentrate on the students who live within the base boundaries. This makes it less likely that Marshall would be part of a boundary study involving Langley (clearly under-enrolled) and McLean (clearly over-capacity). [/quote]
