[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look up the schools in FCPS, PWCPS and LCPS that sent very few students last year.  Rent an apartment in one of the school districts.

Your child will then have a high likelihood of being admitted.

Do not assume that if your child is highly gifted he/she will be admitted.  In our middle school (Cooper) there were several students who were admitted who were very VERY weak.  As in struggled in AAP and should likely have been in GE. And many  students with straight As and in Algebra II who were denied.

If TJ is important to your child, you should temporally move to give them a fighting chance.  [/quote]

Not exactly sure how this would work now, but when my kid was at TJ (class of 2020), we were repeatedly told that you had to inform the school if you moved, because this could affect your eligibility to be at the school.  I think this was particularly aimed at kids from non-Fairfax County jurisdictions (like Arlington or Loudoun), but I don't know what would happen if now if you moved from your South County address used to admit your kid to a more TJ-traditional address in a different part of Fairfax.[/quote]
