[quote=Anonymous]People on DCUM have all sorts of motives that are impossible to discern. What's clear here, however, is that some whistleblowers pointed out a flaw in the 2012 US News data that accounted for Marshall's unexpectedly high rating, were attacked by Marshall boosters, and were validated when the 2013 rankings that made use of more accurate data on IB and AP participation rates at area schools were released.
It's not uncommon for people to attack whistleblowers who upset the apple cart.  They frequently are accused of being malcontents with an agenda, and sometimes they are, but they also are often right.  If I was a Marshall booster, I'd spend less time speculating on exactly why the "anti-Marshall" posters went on the warpath.  You'll never know.  Instead, I'd ask myself whether a willingness to listen to information that may portray my school in a less flattering light than I would prefer is actually a hallmark of a good school community.  Some of the Marshall parents seem to be there already, but others still seem to have a ways to go.  [/quote]
