[quote=Anonymous]4 year varsity /= lower third. Plenty of athletes with good grades. BUT it does mean that you will have less time for other things. Their socializing might largely revolve around their team during the season. And if they want to do club sports, it will be hard to balance with everything else they will want to do. It's the "not super bookwork type" things that will be a problem. This is not rec level academics. It is one of the most rigorous programs in the country. Not the district, not the state, the country. It is not uncommon for kids to get a 5 on an AP exam and a B or even a C in the class. Kids that world cost through their base school with straight As might struggle to stay above a 3.5 uw. They are less likely to get into UVA from TJ. However, they will be better prepared for whatever college they do end up at. Just my opinion. YMMV[/quote]
