[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very disappointing results for arguably the top HS in the top High School District (except for TJ).[/quote]

I don't know how to break this to you, so I'll just leave this right here:

https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/virginia/districts/fairfax-county-public-schools-109481

https://www.fcps.edu/news/fcps-high-schools-ranked-among-best-virginia-and-nation-us-news-and-world-report[/quote]

US News is certainly one source of information.  [/quote]

It appears to be the source that FCPS has cited, so yes.  [/quote]

It was a source that FCPS cited at a time when it thought it was in its interests to do so.  It doesn't mean FCPS or anyone else views it as definitive, as opposed to informative.  [/quote]

DP.  What a bizarre response.  Every source I’ve seen always lists TJ as #1 and Langley as #2.  And I have kids at neither school.  Just accept reality, and stop taking it so personally.  You sound foolish.[/quote]

Consult more sources.

:lol: 
I suggest you do the same.  Niche is based on opinions - hardly scientific.  And the other links you provided say nothing about the schools as a whole.  Again, no dog in this fight, but you’re looking incredibly insecure here.  And USNews is the most widely cited ranking.

People without a dog in the fight don't go around looking for web links they can eagerly post.

Keep in mind the web links only starting showing up because some Langley poster (you?) got bent out of shape when someone expressed the opinion that McLean was "arguably" the best FCPS high school in FCPS other than TJ.  Which it is by some measures, and not by others.

That was clearly only that poster's opinion, but y'all were still predictably butt-hurt.  [/quote]
