[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compared to the other schools they are seeing a spike in the FARMS/ESOL enrollment due to the unaccompanied minors arriving from Central America, so I'm not surprised they have a lower graduation rate.  It's still a good school, particularly if you want IB, even if it is not as "sought after" as the others like Langley, Woodson, etc.[/quote]

Speculation or do you actually know if this is true? I've heard that this has had an effect on Herndon.[/quote]

The FARMS rate was up 1.81% at Marshall last year over the prior year, to over 20%, and the Hispanic enrollment increased by 60 students to 17.3% of the total enrollment, up from 14.7% in the fall of 2013.  Draw your own conclusions.  Herndon was not the only school impacted.

TJ, Langley, McLean, Woodson, Oakton and Madison did not see increases on the same magnitude as Marshall.  The Hispanic enrollment was down at TJ and flat at Langley, while the percentage of FARMS students actually declined last year at TJ, McLean and Oakton.  Again, this puts in perspective why you might expect to see a lower graduation rate at Marshall compared to the other schools.[/quote]

If that's the case why did the English Proficient rate at marshall go up?
