[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The latest College Board report indicates that Woodson had the fourth highest pass rate on AP exams among the county’s 17 AP high schools behind TJ, Langley, and McLean.  That’s a different statistic but it’s possible that US News just used incorrect data.  They aren’t infallible. [/quote]

Isn't the US News data a few years old when they do the rankings? Over in the AAP forum people are claiming that re: TJ's fall in the rankings.[/quote]

AAP post says TJ at 14 now so Woodson is just behind![/quote]

14 Nationally for TJ

16th in VA for Woodson.

Different scale.[/quote]

Not a clarification most will or need to make when talking to out of town friends and family members, “Larla is going to Woodson this year. It’s ranked 16th and that’s saying something because TJ is now 14.”[/quote]

I'm sorry but who talks about their kid's high school ranking with out of town friends and family members? They don't care.[/quote]

Agreed. But it came up quite frequently as water cooler chat pre-COVID. Never understood why they felt the need to flaunt the test scores of other children. Getting quite ahead of themselves, at the very least wait and see which college sweater you'll be wearing into the office so we know it's a personal achievement.[/quote]
