[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]ACPS was too small for this, and now they're stuck. If they open a second high school they'll unleash a mad scramble to get "good" kids in the "good" school and avoid getting put in the "bad" school. If they manage to fight off those forces and open a second high school with identical demographics then they won't actually do a better job of retaining all those kids who are currently going private. So they just keep plugging along.[/quote]

They really need a second high school.  ACHS is too big for students to access things.  My son did not make the JV soccer or tennis teams (he plays travel and competitive tennis), had difficulty getting involved in the robotics club.  It is just not accessible, too many students.  I don't care how they divide it, they need to do so.[/quote]

+1 on the sports aspect. TC fields one baseball program. That's JV and Varsity. Roster is 36 kids. School is 4500 students. Langley HS in Mclean has the same size roster but only 1900 students.

Do the math.

This is true for Soccer and Football as well. Hundreds of kids every year are turned away from playing their chosen sport.

It will never change because this will always be a one party town.[/quote]
