[quote=Anonymous]As an Alexandria parent, there is clearly a good sized cohort of strong students at TCW. Barnard, Bates, Berkeley, Cornell, Dartmouth, Emory, Morehouse, Penn, Princeton, Stanford, USC, Vanderbilt - plus the 31 going to UVA. In fact, the number of strong students is bigger than many of the DC area privates, especially the religious schools (compare to Bishop Ireton). For students with strong academics considering private high schools, it is a viable option. On the other hand, it is a very tough/bad place to be for students getting C's in general education courses, regardless of ethnicity. For them, NVCC or no college is pretty much the only path. I would agree on the criticism of TCW and ACPS for weaker students. But, for better off families with stronger kids, it is fine.[/quote]
