[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really is indefensible to limit TJ's size to roughly 1800 students when so many other schools are now forced to educate at least 2300 students.  [/quote]

TJ really isn't small- it's about the same as a lot of the other FCPS high schools: off the top of my head, McLean, Madison, Langley, Edison are all in the same range for number of students. When you get down to 600-800 students you get the benefits of a small school, but not really at 1800.

No, only Lee is smaller. Some of the schools you mention have over 250 kids than TJ. It's just one more way in which the county caters to a very small group of students. [/quote]

Not the county, the state - TJ is a Governor's school and all the Governor's schools have smaller enrollment. For example, Maggie Walker near Richmond has only about 750 students.[/quote]

All the high schools in Richmond are small as it's an urban school district and many students go private.  The governor's school designation is irrelevant.[/quote]
