[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Longfellow is probably the strongest but forget about TJ. [/quote] That's weird since Longfellow sends more kids to TJ than any other MS. Going there is a big advantage.[/quote] It is a carry over from a math teacher that developed their math program. As a result, parents interested in TJ for their children flocked there. The parents that can afford Longfellow housing, also pay for substantial prep activities. The teacher has not been at Longfellow for a few years. Recently, FCPS changed the admissions standards such that each MS sends at least 1.5% of their class. At Longfellow, it is harder to be in the top 1.5% of the class. [/quote] Yes, but there is a residual pool after each MS sends 1.5% to TJ, and Longfellow and Carson continue to snag more of those remaining seats than other schools. [/quote]
