[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-College placement: Kids from McLean and Langley have a tough time with acceptance to VA state schools (only the top 5% make it into UVA, etc) largely because of Thomas Jefferson sucking up a lot of in-state spots. Private seems to have better counseling and perhaps stronger ties with the better universities, and certain universities really get to know a private school when they have lots of kids attending from that school (Cathedral schools to Univ of Chicago for example).[/quote]

1/3 of the kids that attend Thomas Jefferson come from Long Fellow and Rachel Carson MS.  Probably 70% of those kids are either Asians or Indians.  My kids are asians  and at Long Fellow MS and didn't have the grade/scores to go there but that is ok.  Lot of Asians and Indians kids are extremely smart but they lack social skills, IMHO.

I think TJ is about 80% Asians and Indians.  At the current rate, it will be 99% Asians and Indians.  White and other groups will be squeezing out because they can't compete with Asians :-(, unless the school come up with a quota system.

At the end of the days, once the dust is settled, kids that graduated from Potomac will become bosses of kids that graduated from public school, not always, but most will because they just have better social, writing skills and networking.

I am a living product of public school.  My writing skill is lousy :-([/quote]
