[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is currently sophomore at TJ. He is doing OK - but in all honesty, he is not really using the advanced classes and research groups. Overall, I see nothing that he is getting incremental at TJ (based on his drive) - besides the pressure on grades. If I had to do it again, I would keep him at base school ( which is what DC wanted to do in the first place ) [/quote] Our base school has gone downhill in terms of academic rigor and grading. There is little structure to the classes anymore. Do you still say that even knowing the base schools have changed?[/quote] Good point. If I knew my base school had issues AND my kid could handle TJ - then TJ was the way to go. easy. In our case, our base school (Chantilly HS) is pretty good but not hyper competitive like Oakton/Langley/McLean. So the base option would have been just fine. [/quote] You think Oakton/Langley/Mclean is more competitive than TJ?[/quote]
