[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You left out the West Potomac district, which has a large number of kids who come from backgrounds where education is highly valued. Given a choice, I'd pick West Potomac over TC Williams, Hayfield or Edison.[/quote]

TC also has a large number of kids and families who highly value education.  This year's class received offers from Stanford, Cornell, Penn, UVA (many, many kids), Middlebury, Duke, Haverford, Oberlin, William & Mary, Wesleyan, Johns Hopkins, Smith and Columbia, among others.  And only one was an athletic recruit (Columbia).  I'm sure our stats hold up against those of Edison, Hayfield, or West Potomac -- or St. Stephen's, for that matter.  [/quote]

The stats say that TC failed every year for the last 5 years? Last year, the option was close or restructure.

I think one or two kids may have received offers from those top schools but that could be said of probably any high school in the area.

Rich, white parents who send their kids there are basically tapped out from paying the private school tuition for k-8.[/quote]
