[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here- what does it matter if a vast majority end up at UVA/William and Mary etc. - great schools but frankly, nothing to drive yourself TJ for. [/quote]

My TJ grad at W&M would disagree. She was much better prepared for college than the kids from her base school - in fact, she's found college pretty easy.

And as been said over and over and over again on this board, don't send your kid to TJ just so they can get into a "top" college. The value of the school for bright, motivated kids is so much more than that.[/quote]

My IB diploma grad says the same thing about Tufts. Her freshman year was significantly easier than high school, and her roommate and several friends were struggling. TJ is not the only way to a rigorous high school education that prepares students well for the rigors of college. [b]It can be created at any school.[/b] [/quote]

Actually, no. The kids from her base HS struggled at W&M freshman year, even though most of them had schedules filled with AP classes since sophomore year. IB schools are more rigorous, though, than the typical AP-focused HS.[/quote]

That is going to be school dependent. Anyone want to argue that Lee or Mt. Vernon are more rigorous than Langley, McLean or Chantilly?[/quote]

There is no IB school in FCPS, much less Lee and Mount Vernon, more rigorous than Langley, McLean or Chantilly.  [/quote]
