[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would look into AOS also.  Although I know kids who got accepted to TJ and not i AOS, since there are less spots at AOS and more competition (many do not want to travel to TJ).  I know there is a bus, but it leaves very early and gets back late in the afternoon. Not much time for other activities and of course there will be a lot of homework.  I would definitely try to find some other parents that have students at TJ from Loudoun to get their personal experiences. As you know, traffic can be an issue in this area :cry: 
Is your child in Futura this year?  If so, they will have Spectrum in middle school and we were told that 85% of all the kids at my son's middle school in Loudoun take honors and advanced math courses.  They also offer informational meetings on TJ and AOS when your child is in middle school. 
Sorry I cannot give you first hand information, but I have heard a lot about both TJ and AOS from other parents that have kids that go there.  The commute to TJ can add over 2 hours a day to the school day.  Right now FCPS high school goes earlier than LCPS high schools, so it would be a pretty early morning.  Although I know there was talk of changing that.
Good Luck![/quote]

TJ starts later than most HS in FCPS, because student take the home HS bus to their home HS and then get on the TJ bus when their home HS is starting its first class. [/quote

I apologize, meant to say TJ starts earlier than LCPS. TJ starts at 8:30, LCPS high school at 9:00.  [/quote]
