Loudoun Academy of Science, a tougher admit than TJ.[/quote]

I guess it isn’t a right fit for my kid then.  He wants to be able to socialize and enjoy high school along with getting strong academics.  Sounds like the parents are really competitive too.  He is in 6th in AAP Fairfax and were thinking about switching to LCPS in a year to get away from TJ and it’s toxicity, but never mind![/quote]

You should still move to LCPS. The county high schools all offer a slew of AP and DE courses and you can make your workload as rigorous as you would like. There isn't that much emphasis on the kids who go to the Academies, especially if you don't move to the Brambleton area, which I wouldn't recommend because that is where all the tiger families live.  [/quote]

How tiger were they, if they couldn't even get the school to sponsor a MathCounts team, which they nearly won last year?  Kids had to attend as non-school competitors, where they were not eligible to participate in the team contest, and it probably wasn't the top students either.[/quote]

PP was just using “tiger families” as a euphemism to cover their racism. They mean that Brambleton is very Asian, specifically south Asian Indian. [/quote]

Its not racism to state that culturally the school is very different. And it IS. Factually. I agree that Brambleton is not the only school in LCPS that way. My friend who moved out there couldn't schedule any playdates for her kids because the families either don't believe in playdates and/or the kids are too busy at Kumon and Mathnasium. There are also not many kids in sports. [/quote]
