Except for the time the school librarian force fed a gay romance picture book to the entire school during morning video announcements (Google Marshall Elementary and Prince and Knight), my childrens' experience at Marshall was very good. The teachers are excellent and dedicated. My children attended Marshall from 2016 - 2022. Close Quote

As with any academic settings, it's a joint effort that requires both the teachers and parents working together. Two years ago when my husband and I was looking to buy our family home, we looked at Arlington, Ashburn, Crystal City, and Manassas VA before deciding on Manassas VA. We visited all of the local Elementary and Middle schools, and was impressed with the test results and level of professional teachers at Marshall Elementary. The ranking of this school does not represent the actual quality of education and development your child will received. We both are Full-time Doctoral Candidates at George Washington University, Ashburn Campus; and work full time for the Federal Government. Our daughter is now in the advance academic program, and after two years of taking the special program for kids who are interested in learning another language, she is now fluent in Spanish. We are VERY PLEASED.....with this school and highly encourage all parents to look at the history of the school academic successes before making the decision. If you do decide to move to Marshall Elementary, you and your child will be very pleased with the outcome. Close Quote
