[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you have a chip on your shoulder. I completely understood PP's comments.  There are entire threads about AP vs. IB.  Marshall kids also sometimes transfer to Madison, but some of them probably live closer to McLean.[/quote]

Whatever.  Personally, I think some Cluster 2 parents at Haycock get touchy and judgmental precisely because their kids are at a crowded, out-of-boundary school in a different pyramid.  If creating another AAP center at a Cluster 2 school will reduce the overcrowding and make the Cluster 2 parents feel more at home, I'm all for it.  I'd still grandfather the Cluster 2 kids who are already at Haycock if their parents don't want them to change schools again, even if it means putting up with both the overcrowding and the "you're so pushy, and we're so chill" carping for longer.  The kids should come first.

Yes, Madison kids also transfer to Marshall, and vice versa.  This current year, slightly more Madison kids transferred to Marshall than vice versa, and about twice as many Marshall kids transferred to McLean as vice versa.  It's not obvious why Madison families would be more interested in the IB program at Marshall than McLean families, so I suspect it has more to do with Madison kids who attended Kilmer (primarily a Marshall feeder) wanting to stay with their middle school friends.
