Do you mean the magnet high school for which to attend one must apply and be accepted? 
Being "within boundaries" doesn't mean anything.[/quote]

You may have a far easier time getting into Sidwell or Holton than you neighborhood school in TJ.

PP in Fairfax here.  TJ is certainly far from a sure thing, of course, but it's nice to know it's a possibility if it turns out to be a good fit.  We've been very lucky so far with school admissions at the early years, but who ever knows.  By math-oriented, I mean my husband was teaching graduate school level math and economics classes while he was an  undergraduate at a well-regarded ivy.  To the extent it's heritable, our kids may have a decent chance at being math-oriented as well.  And I'd love for them to be at a terrific, challenging school that really is an ethnic melting pot and academic meritocracy (to the extent that's possible).  Realizing it's a long shot, but a mom can dream![/quote]
