[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the poster whose kids went to TJ. My point is APS did give my kids a solid MS experience, otherwise they wouldn’t have made the TJ cut -the elementary experience was not bad -but we did supplement because our kids were math oriented and we could afford to give them a little extra, not a lot, though, but enough they got into higher level classes in middle school. So, not a bad APS experience. Quite honestly, I felt that elementary was more about the social aspect of growing up than about a “rigorous academic” experience. I am glad we didn’t push them early in life, except support the areas they liked. Things seem more competitive now, though, good luck to all of you. [/quote]

Arlington has a certain number of seats and those seats are filled by kids from Arlington MS. Your kids were competing with other Arlington kids, not FCPS or Loudoun MS kids. If they did well at TJ that is a different story but they did not have to compete against anyone other then APS MS kids for admission. [/quote]
