[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ also pulls from all of NoVa.  A magnet IB school simply won't fill to capacity, [b]especially one that only pulls from a handful of HSs[/b].  I assume that Robinson and Marshall would not be converted to AP?

Creative proposals are good for discussion. Not for actual implementation.[/quote]

I don't know how many fingers you have, but this is more than a handful for most of us:

Hayfield
Edison
South County
Mount Vernon
Annandale
West Potomac
West Springfield[/quote]

It's only part of the county, 7 out of 22 high schools.  Does it make sense to you? It doesn't make sense to me, but I'm only a parent, not an expert.[/quote]

I just ran the numbers.  It would require about 10% of the freshmen at the eight schools affected to apply to fill up a freshman class at "New Lee."

If it were held out as a local IB magnet, it could attract significant attention.   There are years when over 30% of the 8th graders at Carson MS apply to TJHHST. [/quote]

This times a million. I am zoned for Edison, but I would send my kids to a IB magnet middle/high in a minute. To me, the cohort of serious students, challenging curriculum, and sole focus on a college bound population sounds amazing. I hope the county does this.[/quote]
