[quote=Anonymous]Op here, I’m finally back! I was just genuinely curious about the factors that might explain the different trends. It seems like most of the more reasonable people who actually responded to my question think that is it is more SES than anything. My memory is fuzzy in comparing Marshall to even more economically diverse high schools like justice, Fairfax, and South Lakes, but I vaguely recall also thinking that the number of UVA from Marshall seemed relatively low, even compared to lower SES high schools in fcps. Some of you may think I’m creepy, but just a parent who is curious about college trends from high schools within the district, and finding the Marshall pattern to be kind of interesting considering that Marshall has some economic diversity, but also has a good number of affluent families, and is supposed to be one of the stronger IB high schools in the county. I agree that there are some strong schools represented, but the vibe is definitely different than say the pages for McLean high, Oakton, and Madison. some of that might be too non-reporting or under reporting, so I was just curious to hear from anyone who might have a more insider perspective.[/quote]
