[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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

[b]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[/b].[/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]

So we are stating different things. I was commenting on the "much smaller AAP Center" descriptor re: Luther Jackson AAP Center and Frost AAP Center.  Luther Jackson AAP Center students do not feed to Woodson.  Frost AAP Center students (mostly) feed to Woodson.[/quote]

And much of Luther Jackson's AAP Center students feed into Madison.  [/quote]

That's great. Has no relevance to my prior comment, but that's great.  Chinese mustard also does a great job of opening up sinuses when the pollen count is high.  That statement is just about as relevant to my prior comment. :D[/quote]

You seem to be stating that the reason Frost students do not apply to TJ at a greater rate than other schools is because of the "quality of education at Woodson". (see above, I bolded your words for you.) That doesn't hold "mustard" for me as the quality of education at the other matriculating HS is ALSO QUITE HIGH.   [/quote]

Ah, yes -- the infamous "should I choose Tuscany or Sicily for my month-long vacation" dilemma.   :roll: [/quote]
