[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could the county make its own TJ?  Make it really rigorous and application-only, and promise to cap it at a 120-seat-per-grade school within a school, and I bet half the county would apply.[/quote]

That's HB Woodlawn.  [b]Obviously not TJ's equivalent in academics[/b] but as the County's shining jewel.  Very small school in terms of size, paying obscene amounts of money for a new school building for those special few.

And the problem with any lottery or choice school is that it only relieves overcrowding if you draw proportionately from all schools.  It's the same challenge with Arlington Tech that just opened - not knowing where in the county the demand will come from.

Arguably TJ's equivalent in academics, just not the singular focus on science and math. It's like the liberal arts counterpart. [/quote]

At what site would the SB build this new 480 seat school?  Part of the county's argument for building new schools has been the lack of land.  If it does consent to give up VHC for a new school, it should be a new comprehensive HS that would seat way more students than 480.  Does it make sense to divert lots of money to so few seats?  Look at the clusterf#ck at the new HB.  Someone tried to show me the architectural plans, and I refused.  It's already just how much money is wasted aside from building a functional and safe school for students.[/quote]
