[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think it would actually help the district's overall quailty if we participated. Lots of parents with very bright students (especially high achieving Asian/Indian immigrant families that don't have money for private school) will not even consider living in Alexandria, because they expect/believe/hope (whether they are right or not) that their kids will likely be candidates for TJ when they hit high school. [/quote] Not disagreeing with you, but Asian/Indian immigrant families also tend to end up in Fairfax and Loudoun because that's where more of the high-tech jobs are located. As long as TJ is around, preventing students who live in Alexandria from attending just sends a message that APS is insecure. Allowing them to attend should have a positive impact on the middle schools. [/quote]
