It's mostly a status symbol, and always has been.  Go to Walt Whitman HS, Scarsdale HS, Lower Merion HS, Newton North, or New Trier HS, and ask if the students there suffer because they can't attend a specialized magnet.  Most people there would laugh because they know how good those schools are.  They may not be as highly ranked as TJ, but they serve their communities very well and people there get along with one another.  In comparison,  TJ has turned into one ugly Spike Lee movie.

stupid comparisons. New Trier for example has about 1% blacks. It's almost all white. 
And I dispute the last sentence. TJ is a source of great pride to FCPS and is natioanally, even world-renown.  Maybe blacks and Hispanics should study harder.[/quote]

Wow.  Fairfax is an affluent area that has long had a reputation for excellent schools, just like the other jurisdictions.   I didn't realize that we need a magnet school so white and Asian kids don't have to go to school with local blacks.

Ask the people who live in Edsall Park and Bren Mar Park whether they like getting moved from Jefferson to Annandale and now to Edison because FCPS turned TJ into a magnet, and you'd get an earful.    [/quote]
