[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I am not as familiar with all the schools in Fairfax County as you seem to be, so maybe I am placing too much emphasis on rankings to help us decide.  From the responses, it seems likely that the high "3rd for best school" ranking for Marshall was based on "bad data" and that school officials knew this and publicized it anyway.  As someone with a research background, that troubles me, as it raises questions about academic integrity and the values the school seeks to promote among its students.  At this point we plan to look elsewhere and will be crossing Pimmit Hills and Marshall off our list of options. [/quote]

I am so relieved to hear that!  Pimmit Hills is a lovely, multicultural neighborhood with a perfect mix of older, original owners and young families, blue and white collar workers, and new and older homes.  Marshall's "academic integrity and the values the school seeks to promote among its students" are outstanding, and my kids thrived there and then went on to great colleges where both recieved academic scholarships as a result of rigorous IB preparation.  I love the character of my neighborhood -- and neighbors -- and am happy you pass us over.  The longer we fly under the radar, the longer it will take for us to be overrun by snots like you.
