[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The experience is amazing but the grading is extremely tough and inspite of being the brightest kids, unfortunately it puts them at a disadvantage during Grading and then college admissions. Its a little unfair that students of regular High schools get higher grades due to relatively easier course material and grading, [b]while the brighters ones at TJ struggle[/b] . So yes if experience is all you are looking for, its amazing. But if we had to do it all over again, no we wound not. The pressue on the kids and the impact during the college application process is not worth it[/quote] If you have a non senior- this is not necessarily true. Our FCPS HS does not grade inflate at all. I know this if true bc a friend who has 2 kids there and 1 at TJ said the non TJ HS grades harshly and unforgivingly. [/quote]
