[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the last time a smart kid has the same chance of going to a great school wherever they go to high school.  Cream will always flow to the top.

[b]You should go to TJ if a student has an interest and aptitude in STEM that's it.[/quote][/b]

Well said.  You're way too sensible for this board. :)[/quote]

But not many kids from average/below average schools will attend top 20 colleges. Most will be ecstatic to attend Va Tech or James Madison. Expectation/ambition will be different.[/quote]

Look, if you go back to before TJ existed, you would find the same number of students getting into the top schools.  From my class in the early 80's at Madison, we had 2 kids go to MIT, one to RPI, and 6 or so to various Ivys.  Also, Air Force and Navy Academies.  That is one school. Multiply it by 10 or so, yo have 60 at Ivy's, 20 at MIT, etc.  Which is comparable if not better than TJ.[/quote]

Madison is not an average or below average high school.[/quote]
