[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]TJ has the highest SAT score[/b], best college acceptance for a public school, receives the most amount of scholarship and has the best overall academic teams such as quizbowl, ModelUN, debate in the country.

+1 and small correction - TJ has the highest average SAT scores by a wide margin. About 200 points higher than national average and about 100 points higher than FCPS average. That means the bottom 10% at TJ does as good as the top 10% at base schools, and these kids probably are better at base school. That seems to be contention here by the naysayers, focusing on a small minoroty and arguing they are better off at base school, which almost everyone can agree to. [/quote]

TJ's average SAT score last year was 1503/1600 likely highest in the country:  https://tjhsst.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/inline-files/TJHSST%20Profile%202017-18.pdf[/quote]

Wow.  Over 300 points higher than FCPS average and nearly 500 points higher than national average.[/quote]

And yet some delusional fool keeps posting that this is the year TJ is finally going to be shutdown as a magnet and converted to a neighborhood school.  TJ is a powerful symbol of what FCPS wants people to think they are doing right—providing a world class education to some of the brightest minds in the country.  Now, we can certainly debate the perception vs reality. But every time TJ tops a list for SAT scores or has a Siemens or Regneron winner or gets one of the national ohysics or Bio olympics Team, FCPS issues a press release and basks in the glow. People will overlook a lot if you have one school with over 100 NMSFs. [/quote]
