Wouldn’t it be nice if there were rankings for the best US high schools for mental health and life satisfaction?

The two best high schools in America by test scores only are Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Virginia, which was the top-scoring high school for the SATs, and Davidson Academy in Reno, Nevada, which was the top-scoring high school for the ACTs. The two high schools in America that should still work on their test scores are the Second Start School in Concord, New Hampshire, which had the country’s lowest average SAT score, and the Variety School in Las Vegas, Nevada, which had the country’s lowest average ACT score.

If TJ was so great hy is TJ's SAT average so much lower than the MCPS STEM magnets?

Along comes the MCPS moron as usual.

So where is Poolesville on this list? And what do you think the TJ average would have been if it were as small as the Blair magnet?

In any event MCPS doesn’t report SAT scores externally any longer and TJ #s will plummet with the admissions change so it will all be moot soon.

The Blair manget average SAT is around 20-30 points higher than TJ. The info is available online via google.

The magnet had 95 kids sit for the SAT an got an average of 1531. TJ has 500 kids taking the test and averaged 1527. If you took TJs top 95, you would be at about 1570.

And if you took the top 500 from Moco you'd also have closer to 1600. Seriously, TJ is just a poornan's Blair. It looses on every front.

My employer was more impressed by my high school TJ than UVA.

Yes, TJ got my both of the jobs I've had. No one knew what my little midwestern college was.

If that's true, and I was your employer, I would wonder why someone who went to TJ went to a no-name little midwestern college. What happened there?

Believe it or not, a lot of the best colleges and universities in America are ones that most people have never heard of.

That is classic MoCo. Don't you have a consultant's report about MoCo catching up to Fairfax you could go read for a day or two?

How exactly an average kid can be turned into academic super star?
If you take an average chess player and teach all the techniques would that player turn into a grand master?
It depends on the kids, their motivation and lot more
Are your kids average? In order to turn an average into super star they need to learn a lot, are they willing to do it till 1 am or 2 am every day?

It’s Academic is a child’s play. How many times did Blair win the national quizbowl tournaments in the last several years while TJ was dominating?

In every category, it seems to outperform TJ. In terms of NMSF, in terms of Intel scholars, Math and Physics Olympiad members. You name it. TJ like AAP is just too watered down to compete.
