[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had friends who moved to VA to get their kids into TJ. It worked for them, but they were legit math geniuses (as well as very accelerated) and one of them took Calc in middle school. The application process has also changed, and it's a bit more of a lottery than it was before. I'm not familiar with how things are in MCPS these days, but FCPS schools have either AP or IB. I'm not sure about the IB schools, but it's pretty normal to take Algebra in 7th, and all of the AP schools can handle that track. [/quote] It's common to take Algebra in 7th grade in FCPS, especially among families aspiring for their kids to attend TJ, but it's not the norm. They also have a pilot program now to offer Algebra in 6th grade, about which local math teachers have mixed feelings. [/quote]
