[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there stats listed anywhere or how many offers go out and how many of those are accepted? Or do stats just say 10 from this school, 40 from another school? Or is it made public that a school had an initial 10 offers, but 2 kids didn’t accept so another 2 offered spots?[/quote]

Just anecdotally, about 10% don't accept.  You can always return to your base school if you go and don't think it is for you.  It is a bit difficult emotionally to go and then come back to base but not overly so.

What TJ offers:

A critical mass of like minded students that will provide an atmosphere where academic activities are widely pursued.

Significantly more rigor that base schools that will prepare you for the academic rigor of college.

More post-calculus and post-physics math and science electives than anywhere else in FCPS.

What TJ doesn't offer:

Better college admissions.
Many TJ students end up at less selective colleges than they would have if they stayed at their base schools

An easy carefree high school career.  
TJ students will work significantly harder than their peers at base schools.  [/quote]
