[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ is a larger and stronger magnet than any school in MCPS; there are more Ivy legacies in MoCo than Fairfax; and the state schools in VA are stronger (while they are not HYPC-level, it’s common for FCPS kids to turn down schools like Brown or Cornell for UVA or W&M). Adjust for those factors and you’ll be close to an answer.[/quote] That is because MCPS does not have any full school magnets. The magnets are very strong but get mixed in with non magnet stats.[/quote] I think the replies from the above two responses are the answer to the OP. MCPS and FCPS are comparable, but if I were choosing a place to settle just for the kids' school, I would choose FCPS. You get same public school education like MCPS, same chance to go for elite colleges, but if you don't reach the top you have more and better state colleges to fall back on than if you were in Maryland. Much better deal.[/quote] This exactly. [/quote]
