I am so relieved to hear that!  Pimmit Hills is a lovely, multicultural neighborhood with a perfect mix of older, original owners and young families, blue and white collar workers, and new and older homes.  Marshall's "academic integrity and the values the school seeks to promote among its students" are outstanding, and my kids thrived there and then went on to great colleges where both recieved academic scholarships as a result of rigorous IB preparation.  I love the character of my neighborhood -- and neighbors -- and am happy you pass us over.  The longer we fly under the radar, the longer it will take for us to be overrun by snots like you.

Wow.  I asked a sincere question because I was confused by the contradiction between information on Marshall's web site and the linked information on USNWR, and then I was bashed, as were the posters who responded directly to my question.

I have nothing against Pimmit Hills.  If I did, we would not have entertained the idea of building there.  On the other hand, it is clear to me now that Marshall HS is willing to take credit for a rating it did not deserve and that quite a few Marshall parents think that is entirely acceptable.

I will not send my children to a school where the message from the administration and community is that it is OK to take credit for something you did not earn.  If that makes me a snob, snot or troll, I'm fine with that.  We cannot afford a $1 million house, but we do have other options, and we will explore them.  [/quote]
