I use a patented algorithm that processes months of Twitter feeds from teenagers. For example, it screens out hash tags like "#fuckmclean" because that only gets tweeted by Langley students before sports events. The serious answer to your question is that Marshall's a small school where the administrators actually like kids and are used to dealing with kids from diverse backgrounds with different abilities.

In other words, you made it up.

Word.

If you say so. Have fun.

Have fun at McLean HS? No doubt.

Don't know about McLean but I had two years of interdisciplinary English/Social Studies in high school (freshman and junior years) and they were, bar none, the best classes I had in high school.

If you have time, you might want to consider private school or pupil placing your child to Marshall for the IB program. The students don't have as much money as those at McLean, but it's a better school with happier students.

I've heard good things about the German teachers; not sure about the French teachers.

The Honors World Civilization class is a challenging class for 9th graders. If your kid is very strong academically, it's a good choice. The teachers are considered among the toughest at the school, and they are both demanding and inflexible. It's common for kids who got As and Bs in middle-school English and Social Studies to pull Cs or Ds in their class, and then get As and Bs again with other teachers later. The administration basically lets them do their thing and almost never grants transfer requests.

Does anyone have experience with the French or German teachers/instruction programs at McLean High School? We are choosing between these two languages for a rising 9th grader and would be very interested in feedback on the quality of teaching. We are also interested in hearing about experiences in the combined interdisciplinary English/social science classes. Thanks for any info!
