As a result of this,  TJ rejected over one-quarter of the applicants with scores in the top five percent on the AMC 8, a highly competitive national math exam,.[/quote]

Sorry, but this isn't that special.  Fairfax County has 4th and 5th graders who make it on the top 5% honor roll on AMC 8.  Doing so as a 7th or 8th grader is a rather pedestrian achievement suggesting that the kid doesn't need anything beyond the local high school.  Most of the FCPS kids who make the top 5% honor roll do so because they're privileged kids who attend a strong middle school with a strong math coaching program.  [/quote]

Bull.  [/quote]

My AAP center had a 4th, 5th, and 6th grader scoring in the top five percent on AMC 8 last year.  Not many elementary AAP centers even participate, but if they did, there would probably be at least 20 4th and 5th graders across FCPS who reach the top 5% honor roll.  It's really not that big of a deal for an 8th grader, especially from Longfellow, Carson, or Rocky Run, to make the AMC honor roll.  Any bright kid with good coaching should be able to do so.
