[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]which teams are usually the strongest? TJHSST seems to have a ton of swim/dive titles from the past 20 years on their building

Isn't TJ in the lowest division?[/quote]

FCPS teams are in Districts and not Divisions.  They are in the same district for every sport.  So a school may have a very strong basketball team and weak swim team but they both compete in the same district.  The districts are aligned geographically and also school size.

TJ is in the National District, along with Annandale, Falls Church, Justice, Edison, Hayfield, Lewis & Mount Vernon.  All of the schools that TJ competes against have large FARMS (free and reduced lunches) and large ESOL populations.  TJ tends to dominate the district in the “country club” sports like tennis, golf and swim & dive.  But they are more competitive or weaker in basketball, softball, etc.[/quote]

But they are also divided into classes and regions (referred to as divisions when you pair the class with region).  Districts are at the lowest level.  So TJ is in the National District, but in the 6C division.
