[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For whatever it's worth, I think the consensus would be that Marshall is a slight upgrade over Falls Church HS.

Yes, Marshall boosterism on this forum was overbearing esp. about 1 year ago, by one incessant poster.[/quote]

Slight? Falls Church is one of the worst in the county vs Marshall one of the top ten.[/quote]

Marshall is one of the best in the county and keeps climbing up the rankings[/quote]

Falls Church is what Marshall used to call itself, a "small school with a big heart."  Marshall is obsessed with rankings now.   [/quote]

Can't Marshall be both?  Small school with a big heart along with being highly ranked.[/quote]

With roughly 1900 students, Marshall isn't really small any more.  "Small school, big heart" was the motto when GCM had about 1300 students.

We used to live in the GCM district, and one of our kids graduated from the school.  When we talk to some of our former neighbors who still have kids there, they say it's become less personal and more focused on test scores and ratings.   [/quote]
