[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get it TJ beats Stevenson by a mile on every single measure - graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores; English and Math proficiency.  [/quote]

But not sports, diversity, or food.  Gotta love Niche for an LOL. [/quote]

man, the food must be pretty bad at TJ to flip the ranking that much[/quote]

Depends on how you feel about bad pizza three times a week. DS loves it.  Needless to say, I am less than impressed by all the pizza.

Where TJ actually faltered is sports.  Which is a little surprising. The hold their own with other FCPS schools in their conference in everything but football, which they wisely gave up on before some kid ended up paralyzed from the pummeling they were getting (due to fining up 30-40 pounds on average, per kid.  Plus, having no talent).  They win the conference, and even states in some sports, and place their fair share of kids on all conference. And a significant number of TJ kids play a sport.  Many play 2 or 3.  So, I'm not sure what Niche's issue is. Maybe that they don't have an everyone goes to football and basketball games culture?  Then again, it's really hard to care that Niche what Niche thinks about TJ sports (#ThereForTheSports).

i guess whether you take Niche seriously depends on whether you think sports and food should play a role in HS rankings. [/quote]
