[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you aren't still looking in the Madison district, if that's where you want to be. It's a better school than Marshall and there are nice houses under $900K:

Both are good, but Great Schools gives Marshall a 9 and Madison only an 8.[/quote]

Madison has higher SATs, a higher US News rating, a higher Washington Post Challenge Index rating, more National Merit Semifinalists, better sports, better music programs, stronger college admissions, and a more popular curriculum (AP rather than IB).  I'd take that against a GS rating based on SOL scores any time.[/quote]

And Marshall is more diverse, which gives it an edge in my book.  But you seem to be missing the point.  Neither school is clearly "better."  School quality should not be a driving factor in OP's decision between these two pyramids.[/quote]
