[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LJ is much smaller AAP Center with 333 students vs. Kilmer 570 students vs. Longfellow 694 students.  [b]Their TJ acceptance rate is on par with Frost MS when Frost has more students 375.[/b]  This is 2011-212 statistics from FCPS school profile.  Last year LJ had 20 students accepted to TJ, and 18 students in previous year.   The school is doing very well indeed![/quote]

More Frost MS AAP Center students opt not to apply to TJ as their high school is Woodson.[/quote]

As opposed to Langley, McLean, Madison and Marshall?  All are similar to Woodson.  Plus, the Frost folks are closer to TJ, so I would have expected more to apply as TJ is closer to them.[/quote]

I believe the PP was comparing the size of Luther Jackson's AAP Center with Frost's AAP Center, and used the description of "much smaller AAP Center" as compared to the size of the AAP Centers feeding Langley, McLean, Madison and Marshall.

And believe it or not there are some Frost AAP students and families that opt not to apply to TJ as the quality of education at Woodson is quite high, as evidenced in the recent PISA study.[/quote]

My point is that the argument doesn't pass the smell test as the level of education at Langley, McLean, Madison and Marshall are also "quite high".  It is not a distinguishing characteristic that sets Woodson apart from the rest. [/quote]
