[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regret that TJ was opted for in 9th based on senior year college rejections or acceptances?[/quote]

Current TJ parent, we are extremely worried. Sometimes I feel my daughter would have been better with base school.[/quote]
Entire bottom half of TJ class parents share this feeling, especially from non-stem oriented middle schools.  FCPS is doing a real disservice to uninformed parents by not being clear about whether their students are truly ready for TJ-level rigor and by downplaying how many years ahead the top half of the class already is in core subjects from day one. It’s hard to understand the logic behind admitting students with such widely different stem knowledge levels into the same class, especially when the course plans for the top and bottom halves end up being so different never sharing same classrooms. Yet, when it comes to college admissions, those students are still compared against each other, which clearly puts the students of uninformed parents  at a disadvantage, even with night after night of long study hours with no real GPA improvement.
