What a real a++ to answer the quesiton in that manner. [/quot

As good as some of the privates are in VA, the poster asked for a truly challenging academic environment. The public GT's and TJ are academically far superior to any of the privates in VA. Yes privates can provide things they can't such as small classes, extra curriculars, etc but if you are matching academics, the privates don't compare in that area.

Just look at the stats where the TJ students end up. That should give you your answer.

But what about the stats of where the kids at the private end up?   True not ALL end up in the Ivies.....but that's not where all intended to go in the first....the issue must be drvien by where/whether the students ended up in the college of their choice....not the folks on this board who keep "stats" on this.

Where in my post did I say anything about Ivies. Look at the research the kids are doing. Look at the Sat scores. 23 kids accepted to MIT. This is what shows an academically rigorous environment.[/quote]
