[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I moved into Chantilly from PWC just so my kids could attend Chantilly HS for what worth.[/quote]

Well, let’s just say that you haven’t convinced me to move to Chantilly.[/quote]

Chantilly is probably too rigorous for your kids. [/quote]

The only way for me to find that out is if I pulled my son from TJ and transferred him to Chantilly.  [/quote]

Unlikely.  [/quote]

Exactly!  I'll never do that.  [/quote]

You sound like a snot. I have a kid at TJ and a kid at Chantilly. Chantilly is an excellent school too. And is many ways a healthier environment than TJ.  My TJ kid loves TJ and is getting an amazing education, so we let him stay, despite the time commitment and pressure frankly, the unrealistic and unhealthy demands. . But there are definately days I am tempted to move him back to Chantilly.

We’ll see where my kids end up in the long run. It could well be the exact same college. And from there, who knows?  But, I wouldn’t say right now that my TJ kid will definately be more successful than my Chantilly kid.  They both had psychoeducational testing, and their IQs were within 2points of each other. He picks up on complex concepts faster and is able to manipulate complex ideas and understand interdisciplinary concepts that pull on multiple subjects to come up with nuanced answers easier. But he has a lower EQ.  And he does not have his sibling’s grit or tenacity.  His Chantilly based sibling ended middle school with a 4.0. He did not— same MS, same AAP program.

TJ’s great. My kid is fortunate to attend. But there is no need to be the type of a@@hole who gives TJ parents a bad name. It has its downsides, like any other school. And Chantilly also turns out nice, smart, hardworking kids with the education to succeed at a high level.

It’s fine to be proud of your kid. But looking down on your kid’s MS classmates at Chantilly? Not cool. Attending TJ does not guarantee your kid will be more successful than them.
