TJHSST throws off the comparison between FCPS and MCPS high schools.  Ranking focus on percentage of students who participate and pass AP/IB.  If you took the students at TJHSST and put them in their base high schools, they would bring the numbers for those base high schools.  The highest ranked high schools in FCPS have several hundred students diverted to TJHSST.  If those students went to the base high schools, it would bring up their AP/IB participation and passing rates, and put them on par with the highest ranked MCPS high schools.  It might not seem like much, but the gap in the numbers between the highest ranked FCPS high schools and the highest ranked MCPS high schools isn't that great.[/quote]

so then the TJHS booster should really stop the rah rah posts about NMSF and SAT scores just from that one school.  I agree, if they spread out the TJ students like MCPS does, I'm sure you'd see more FCPS schools on the list.[/quote]
