[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inescapable fact. "Base" school tells you the geography of the students. The wealthier areas have smarter kids. Now we can debate all day the root causes for that, but you can't deny the correlation.[/quote] ^this sums it up.[/quote] the wealthier areas have smarter kids - not so sure academically more advanced kids, sure. wow! what a revelation.[/quote] It seems like what the data suggests is that the biggest predictors of getting into TJ are being Asian and living in a wealthy area (ex: Langley, McLean, Oakton) but that it's better to live in a somewhat less affluent area with more Asians (ex: Chantilly) than a more affluent area with fewer Asians (ex: Madison, Marshall). And, if you live in a generally low-income area, you'll be beating the odds to get into TJ, even if the schools in your area have a large number of Asians (ex: Lee, Falls Church). [/quote]
