[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]George Mason is the only HS in Falls Church City. McLean is the high school for central McLean.  Madison is the high school for the Town of Vienna.  Langley is the high school for all of Great Falls.

Marshall is the high school for a regional shopping mall, some office parks, and a bunch of random neighborhoods in Falls Church, Vienna, Dunn Loring and McLean.  There really isn't any community that takes much interest in the school compared to the others.

This is your platform agains Marshall on every thread for at least the past three years. Not everyone wants/needs that Midwestern/southern town feel where life revolves around the high school. This is northern Virginia. It's not like that here. Never has been, never will be. [/quote]

No one is suggesting life should revolve entirely around the local high school.  However, Marshall is particularly deficient in terms of not having a community feel compared to many of the schools with which it likes to be compared.  The kids know it, the parents know it, and the people avoiding the district to buy elsewhere know it.  You are in denial about something that is well known in local circles and not really up for debate. [/quote]
