Rigorous HS programs produce successful doctors, researchers, patent lawyers, professors, scholars (Rhodes, Fullbright, Macarthur etc.) . TJ produces these types. Its relatively early for Nobel laureates.

No. Not that I know of. Kids who are forced to perform never get that far. These kids will fizzle out by college/post college.

You sound bitter and envious. TJ kids do not have to be forced to perform.

Who cares? I think when you have a test in program in one of the most educated counties in the US the result is smart kids with impressive results. I do wonder if the county gives TJ too much attention rather than other schools? Also I think schools like Sidwell and Cathedral schools are rigorous just in a different way. The kids who make up these schoolS are different than kids at TJ and Blair. More wealth versus immigrant strivers.

Sure they do. Schools like Sidwell and others rely on White privilege and connections. TJ parents are not stupid as some might have you believe.

Nobel prizes are usually awarded decades after the significant work was actually done (usually in 30s, 40s, 50s).
