[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Equivalent of TJ in competitiveness and name-recognition, no.  But lots of Maryland districts (because, surprise surprise, MoCo isn't the only district in MD) have STEM magnets that are great programs.

The MoCo magnets, and Eleanor Roosevelt in PGCo have been mentioned.  Anne Arundel has 3 STEM magnets with the school-within-a-school model, but AACo magnets are lotteries among all the qualified kids, so you don't have the crazy competitiveness of trying to differentiate among a lot of very smart kids.
I'm not sure what program Howard County has.[/quote]
Blair SMACS is smaller than TJ but it outperforms TJ.

I think Blair's little program also beats TJ in It's Academic annually. Has a higher SAT average. It has more NMSF per capita than TJ. Has members of the US math olympiad. Sure it's smaller but more prestigious. About 6% of the class ends up at MIT. Similar numbers at Harvard and Standford. [/quote]
