[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the Newsweek list, Woodson is number one, Lake Braddock is eighth, and West Springfield is thirteenth. Most of these rankings do not include TJ, since it is actually a Virginia Governor's school with a selective admissions policy.
Here's a link: http://commweb.fcps.edu/newsreleases/newsrelease.cfm?newsid=1501
These rankings are from before they redistricted Woodson, I don't know if that would have an effect or not.[/quote]

This is based on Jay Matthews' "Challenge Index":  "The Challenge Index measures public high schools’ ability to challenge their students. A school’s ranking is determined by dividing the number of Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or Cambridge tests given by a school to all its students by the number of seniors who graduated in May or June. The index is designed to identify schools that challenge average students."

By referring to Woodson as number one, I guess you mean in Fairfax County, excluding TJ.

Yes, Fairfax County, as that is what the OP was asking about. And this particular ranking is from 2010, which isn't that long ago.[/quote]
