The highest GPA is lower at TJ than the base high school, the most reason are below:

First, the courses at TJ are harder, deeper, challenger, and rigor. It is not easy to get an A grade at TJ courses, especially at math, chemestry, and physics. So, even if a student takes all AP courses and post AP courses at TJ in four years, it is impossible to get all A grade at TJ.

Second, at TJ, the school does not permit , at least not encourages students to take one AP or Honor courses at online campus after regular 7 school day courses to improve students' GPA, because the school thinks that the regular TJ courses at school have been very hard and very heavy for students, next, the online courses are too easier than TJ courses, so school does not permit to take online courses if JT also supply that courses.  But, at Fairfax county base school, any students can take up to 2 AP courses at Fairfax online campus during school year as long as students want to take.

In a word, at base school, students more easily to get A grade at all AP courses, and can take more AP courses by taking online courses during 4 school years to biggest increase their GPA than the students at TJ.[/quote]

This is 100% false based on someone who posted the GPAs and rankings of kids who had them- maybe from 2022. According to our fcps hs’ school profile which listed the highest gpa…it’s right around or even slightly lower than TJs.[/quote]

These TJ boosters are serious drama queens always looking to tells us how they have it worse than everyone else when in fact that's only their imagination. [/quote]

The claim seems to be that if their kids were at their base schools, they would have higher GPAs.  This is probably true for most.[/quote]

Since only a tiny percentage of kids even apply to TJ, what is this based on? [/quote]

This is based on:
(1) kids that go back to their base schools after getting poor grades at TJ and getting A's at their base school.
(2) families with kids that went to TJ and kids that did not go to TJ telling us that getting A's is easier at the abase school
(3) Kids with similar SOL scores getting lower GPAs at TJ vs the base school throughout their high school career.
