[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the kids wants to go to a magnet program, nothing is better than TJ.  A whole school magnet provides different experience than 100 magnet students in a local school.  If you kids are good student but doesnt want a highly competitive program, MCPS has a number of local schools with strong academics.
The real outliers will do well in any place but the top 5-10% students would be fine in magnet or local HS in MCPS.
It seems most top talents in FCPS select TJ so the local schools have less peers for top students.[/quote]

But those 100 spots are more competitive than the whole class at TJ[/quote]

MCPS has 250 highly competitive magnet slots: 100 at Blair, 100 at RMIB, and 50 for upcounty in Poolesville.  Spreading the top talent into 3 campus really hurt the competitiveness for the top students in MCPS.  While TJ could form a science bowl team with top students from NoVa, Blair, RM, and Pooseville divided the talents into three teams.[/quote]
