[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, according to the Madison principal, Madison (the stronger school) caps the number of pupil placements it will accept to roughly equal the number of students transferring out for IB. Otherwise, it would get additional pupil placements from Marshall and South Lakes, and the school is already full.  I heard some other AP schools are even more restrictive now on allowing pupil placements from IB schools.

:roll: "the stronger school"  puhleeezz...  so 100 students prefer to go do IB and 100 students want to come play sports - just tweakin' you; but using the NMSF that someone posted earlier, Madison had 8 and Marshall 7.  SATs are equal within the margin of error, and yet Marshall FRMS are more than 2x higher.  On what basis do you expect Madison would get additinoal placements from Marshall - there's no word there of any restrictions on pupil placement requests (according to a PTA member).  I've heard the rumors that schools are more restrictive (my neighbor says that Marshall is reported to be closed to pupil placements) but I've yet to hear of anyone not being placed.    :wink: [/quote]

[b]Madison is better. Marshall is the consolation prize.[/b] [/quote]

Madison's culture is increasingly toxic. This comment is indicative of it.[/quote]

Marshall's culture is increasingly diverse, inclusive, supportive, and joyful - GO STATESMEN![/quote]
