[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony is that [b]Asians made TJ into the best high school in the country [/b]and instead of appreciation, Asians are incessantly targeted by whites as nerds, geeks, drones, robots (among many other negative titles) etc.

The “smartest” student body in the country - doesn’t mean it is the “beret high school.”  Hand select 60% Asians and yeah, you’re going to have some pretty high SAT scores.[/quote]

It's not just the highest SAT score. TJ also has the best performance under any other criteria whether, number of AP or post-AP courses, performance on AP exams, research, science fairs, NMSF, scholastic arts & writing awards, model UN awards, debate awards, journalism awards etc. It also has one of the best orchestra and band in the country. Best high school in the country. It even beat Shanghai in the PISA assessment and Shanghai had the best scores in the world.[/quote]

And yet applications keep dropping.  It just doesn't interest that many kids any longer.  [/quote]

Right because whites are scared to compete with Asian Americans. See how that kind of attitude works out in the real world. Talk about hypocrisy. Whites are the loudest in saying how blacks and Hispanics do not rise to the challenges while they will never admit such a thing. [/quote]

In the real world, demand increases, not decreases, for things that provide an advantage in life.  TJ just isn't one of them, and families have figured that out. [/quote]

Don't worry, TJ's reputation and rankings keep climbing. In fact, FCPS is spending $90 million and the private companies and individuals are donating additional $25 million to renovate and equip the place. TJ will continue to provide the best high school education to the students that are lucky to gain admission. Just worry about your kid's school.[/quote]
