[quote=Anonymous]Do you have an AAP kid? A SN kid?  Want a good shot at TJ?  Want a"normal" school experience that avoids TJ crazy? Are sports important?  What about "diversity"?  And speaking of diversity, what does that mean to you. Is a half Asian school diverse?  What is your commute (and this is huge).  Is AP or In better for your kid.

Fact is, FCPS has some excellent high schools with excellent feeders. Really, there are 6-8 high schools that are top notch (besides TJ) and each of them as strong feeders. Most people will tell you their feeder situation is "best".  Which means it's best for them, their family, their commute and their kids-- even assuming no budget constraints. Without knowing what your top priorities are in a school, there is no real answer. We love our feeder (Oak Hill/Carson (both as AAP)/ and Chantilly, but kids at TJ). But it works for us. Very strong academics, TJ feeder, lots of different nationalities, and families we feel comfortable with. Other people would hate this option.

that said, no school can be everything for every kid. It's not gonna happen. So look at what's right for your kids. [/quote]
