+1. I don't understand why this thread has dissolved into character attacks on a great FCPS school. I graduated from Marshall in the mid-2000s, so not *that* long ago, and Madison was absolutely our biggest rival. As a PP mentioned, it's because the students mixed in elementary/middle. The disparity in test scores that others have (quite rudely) pointed out is likely due to the fact that Marshall has a higher immigrant population than Madison. I would place bets on the OP's child doing just as well at Marshall as he/she would do at Madison.

Anyway, that is a moot point because OP asked about IB vs. AP, not about sports or test scores. That is a very personal decision and comes down to your child's strengths, where they are going and what they foresee doing in college, etc. I had a wonderful experience with the Marshall IB program. From what I can tell, my peers in the program are all doing very well several years out of college.[/quote]
