[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before this thread turned into ugly discussion as usual… I just want to remind you that alot of fear mongering here. 
Some people really really desperate to make TJ looks so so bad.
As a TJ parent I am saying that TJ sure have a different students body now, but I can guarantee you it is still an excellent school. My kid is happy there, no regret! 
If your kid want to try let them try![/quote]
99.9999% of concern is whether student can handle TJ curriculum without Cs, Ds, and Fs.  Everything else doesn't matter much.[/quote]

This is so kid subjective. Also I think a lot of posters here are FCPS and LCPS since they make up the bulk of the AAP programs. I am not even sure if / how APS handles advanced math which is a good benchmark for how prepared most kids coming in are for TJ.

For FCPS for instance, they have to take a national level test to get into Alg 1 Honors in 7th and score extremely high in that and then also get the top SOL level. I had two kids do both. One still complained math was so easy in 7th and 8th and has thrived at TJ, yes it’s hard but it’s been a great fit. The other has gotten good grades (A- and B+) in those same 7th and 8th grade math classes but had to really work for them. They would not have done well at TJ and I had no intention of sending them. Does your kid sound more like the former or latter one? [/quote]
