[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year Madison is ranked higher than McLean or Oakton.  Typically it's been below these schools and is known for having a not so great principal. I don't hear Madison clamoring to say that their ranking is too high. Fairfax, Chantilly, and Robinson are also rated higher than I've seen them in the past. If I were doing rankings, I'd rate Marshall around the same level as Robinson and Lake Braddock. It could just be that the vocational classes they offer bring their average down.  There are houses in the district that cost upwards of $2 million. Unless you have a child at the school and know about other schools, I don't know how you'd be so certain that one was definitely higher than the other. People did call out the potentially faulty rating of Marshall last year at the beginning of this post. [/quote]

I don't think you can rate Marshall the same as Robinson and Lake Bradock when the test scores show otherwise

Great schools has marshall scored at a 9 and Robinson / Lake Bradock at 8s.

This also seems to cut the BS on how FARMS cause lower test scores when Marshall has more FARMS then Robinson and Lake bradock but score better on SOLs.

Great schools is a better indicator which bases scores purely on testing rather than magical IB / AP points and random so called expert analysis  etc...
