[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read through the many posts about TC on this website.  [b]Be forewarned, however, that there is a former ACPS parent who currently lives in Arlington who takes any opportunity to bash ACPS[/b].  TC has amazing opportunities for motivated, self-confident kids.  As the only high school in Alexandria, TC has kids from all socio-economic levels, students from over 80 countries, and with all sorts of disparate ability levels.  Special Ed students are at TC along with all the other kids.  [/quote]

Eh. I'm sitting this one out (although I did validate the accuracy of TC no being eligible for TJ).

OP, don't let pp fool you. I've been vocal in past threads, but there are more people who share my views than the pp's. TC has serious problems. The best thing you can say about it it is that these motivated and self-confident kids at best can survive it, at worst have a cynical worldview that surviving it gives them a leg up on college applications. Imagine, however, how motivatd and self-confident kids would fare in better schools.

TC's problems are unique and arguably insurmountable. Some think the demographics of the city are on the school's side in the long-run, but the administration of the school is a real hindrance to progress, especially the superintendent, who's a showhorse and not a workhorse when it comes to demonstrable progress.[/quote]
