[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No, it's more a function of where the three strongest MS AAP programs - Carson, Longfellow and Rocky Run - are located. The AAP schools for Madison (Jackson and Kilmer) and Woodson (Frost) aren't getting as many kids into TJ. [/quote]

I think it is an informed decision for Madison parents that they want there kids to stay at the school, there is a fierce pride there and kids who come from the community tend to stay in the community at the school for both academics and athletics/extracurriculars they have been involved in since elementary school.  With Greg Hood as principal they celebrate all the students successes and, yes, learn from the challenges presented to them.

Besides who can resist a school whose 6th man is led by a white rabbit...  :wink:  :lol:  :D

Like the other posters have said...you can't really go wrong with any of the top 6 or so schools in the county.  We also have to realize that FCPS, even with what we see are its flaws, is one of the largest school districts in the country and with the (if not the) highest performing graduates overall (Montgomery Cty, MD is in the same category).

Nope.  It's just weaker MS AAP options, which results in fewer TJ placements and more kids deciding there's no point in applying. If Madison kids went to Carson or Longfellow for AAP rather than Jackson, the situation would be different.[/quote]
