[quote=Anonymous]Again, The data US News used was given by FCPS, not Marshall. Those ratings only take into consideration certain information like tests scores and FARMS. They are often inaccurate on class size and a host of other things. I agree that Marshall shouldn't have received such a high mark and pointed that out in the beginning of this post, but to go on to say it's unethical is unfair. Many people were just happy the school was finally recognized a bit for its efforts since IB schools tend to always run lower than AP schools. As said in an original post last year, Obama probably did not deserve the peace prize, but he's not going to retract it and it doesn't make him unethical to advertise he received it. And it's a joke to me to say that Marshall teaches less values than Madison or McLean to those of us who know the self absorbed parents there. Bottom line, you may rightly disagree with the ranking, but it does not make Marshall unethical to display a rating that they did indeed receive. I'm sure it will be off their website anyway come next fall. Those ratings do not include many things which many parents find important.  Studies show that kids are tired of the typical seatwork and tests come high school and want something different with more real world experience which is why the Academies are becoming more popular, especially Chantilly's.  Those ratings don't take a lot of those things into consideration. We all thought you wanted general information on the school such as the pluses and minuses like most of us are looking for. Sorry to hear all you care about is ratings.[/quote]
