[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If it was used for an IB school you would bring in kids interested in that program and relieve schools that are over crowded or close to being over crowded. It would free up space in some existing HS. It would also allow all HS to have AP programs, which would reduce the number of student transfers.[/quote]

TERRIBLE location for one centralized IB school.  Do you want kids in Fort Hunt driving to Dulles airport every day?  That's pretty much the location.[/quote]

And TJ is well placed for everyone? Kids are bussed or drive long distances to get there. If the program has the demand then kids will come.[/quote]

Exactly. London kids to TJ is a haul but if they want to attend, they do.[/quote]

Isn't Loudoun creating its own TJ?

I read the old TJ admissions director, a huge proponent of the old merit system, recdntly switched to Loudoun County PS to work on the project.[/quote]

TJ is 1 of 3 Governor's schools in VA.

You don't just willy-nilly "create its (Loundon Co) own" .[/quote]

Loudoun is quite wealthy.

If they create a stem school that is merit based like old TJ, they could likely surpass FCPS' new TJ in just a few years.

The school borders Rachel Carson.  It is NOT in Loudoun County.  It is certainly close, but it is Fairfax County.  i don't see that changing.

It would be ideal for Western High School.  I, however, am skeptical.  I think it will be used for another Muslim facility/mosque/community cetner.[/quote]
