[quote=Anonymous]My 8th grader son is strong.  Excellent math and verbal.  Introverted. Likes tech. Honesty holding him back in k helped immensely with maturity. He has August bday.  He is more mature than avg 8th grader.

How do I know he might do well?  Is there a certain type of kid that fits in there.  I, of course, am not assuming he would get in.  I'm trying to understand if he would benefit there or who benefits (thrives) there vs going to the average strong area HS. I looked at the college acceptance list. A ton of kids go to standard schools like James Madison, vcu etc. I am worried about him being excellent and then having to work super hard and being just average at TJ.

We are new to the area. We got a note about TJ from school (n Arlington ms). Looks like application process starts Mon

We are not far from area so we have heard @ TJ.  Seems like only mythical unicorn kids get in ....

Also, 
If we moved to fairfax could we still go if he was admitted from Arlington?  We are looking for houses and might not find what we are looking for in Arlington.  Mclean etc is right on border of Arlington.  [/quote]
