[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, I drove through Marshall parking lot and was concerned about the more city feel around it of Tysons, that it wouldn't be as safe for walking around in , from a pedestrian/car safety standpoint.  Also the building looked older... I am also not sure about IB and my daughter, I don't think she would have enough interest in the program to complete the IB diploma...[/quote]

DP.  You are completely wrong regarding safety.  But Tyson's is (luckily for us) not a total white suburbia.  I hope you find what you are looking for.[/quote]

+1 I’m a teacher at Marshall.  The school has been recently renovated so not sure why you would say it looks older.  Its library is gorgeous.  There is a diverse student body with kids from many socio-economic backgrounds. Kids can take IB classes,  but not do the full diploma.  It’s not perfect, but it’s a great school to work at and the students overall seem happy. [/quote]

OP here-  teacher from Marshall, can you tell me more about the school? Is there a lot of mean girl clique bullying happening? how is the community service program? Simply from previous poster's comments about Madison being very white and sports oriented, I imagine that could lead to some more social stratifying? I do not know.  I do know that there can be bullying and mean girls anywhere, but I am trying to reduce the risk of that happening.  Can you tell me anything else about the school? It also seems there are more affordable options in the Marshall zone.  Looking at Redfin, and talking with a real estate agent, there are many fewer options for around $1M to buy in a year in Langley HS zone for example, also less rentals.  If we are not going to be AP and IB heavy, does it really matter if the school is AP or IB?[/quote]

Don’t you want to ask teacher about  parking spaces?
