George C. Marshall High School is located near Interstate 495 and Va. 7 in Northern Virginia. Founded in 1962, the school has an academic, athletic and extracurricular program that stands up to the legacy of its namesake general and former secretary of state.
Marshall High prides itself on a hands-on, project-based learning approach. Students from the Tysons Corner and Pimmit Hills areas can participate in an International Baccalaureate program and a STEM Academy. The language program has seven different tracks, including American Sign Language. The school also offers no-cost summer tutoring programs and wide-ranging technical programs, including a nursing program, culinary arts program and cutting-edge information technology. The Marshall High Statesmen teams are known for football and cross country and track and field. While their peers race across the finish line to add to the school's five state championships, the tennis and basketball teams are also forces to be reckoned with. The theater program is just as impressive, boasting six orchestras and bands.

I would like to see the administration be kinder. The administration is not very nice. The bathroom policy is also really stressful, a lot of the time using the bathroom is a challenge due to securely.
4/5/2025
This school would be so much better if it wasn't IB. They also need to hire better teachers and better administration. Teachers are extremely hit or miss.
7/8/2024
I had a great time at Marshall, especially through the IB Diploma and Cross Country program. If you are able to find an activity in each category (clubs, sports, academics, or a mix) you can be really successful - but a lot of work on your own is needed.

This school has a lot of money and resources. It is also an International Baccalaureate school so there is a lot of focus (and celebration of its IB program). However, this school has a pretty toxic and elitist culture where it seems like the overall goal is to make school as unpleasant and unwelcom...

Had to transfer. I got bullied both online and in person for a rumor that started within the school. I went to my counselor for support with this situation, and she told me to talk it out, I did, and the girl started another rumor that led to me being sexually harassed (physically) by guys in the ha...
