[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, my kid starts kindergarten next year and I'm on the site researching schools.  We're in the $1.3M to $1.5m range.  I've heard Marshall has transformed over the last ten years and will easily be in the top eschelon of high schools in FCPS if it continues on its current trajectory.  I've also heard that while McLean/Langley/Madison are strong schools, you need to deal with the fact that their students are a bunch of snotty, shallow brats. The comments from their parents on this string have provided some solid support for *that* (assuming apples don't fall far from the trees and all).  Anyone have any thoughts on the other piece of advice about Marshall's future? [/quote]
There is really not that much difference. If your kid goes to Marshall or any one of the three school you listed, s/he will be well served academically and fine socially. Not all kids from affluent areas are snotty and shallow. A few years down the road you may have to decide whether to go AP or IB route, but you will have access to both options thanks to pupil placement.[/quote]
