[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typo ^^^ TJ admitted 18% of eligible applicants[/quote]

Was the 1% also a typo? Because no one has mentioned that figure.

MoCo's top HS magnet, [b]Blair, has higher test scores and better outplacement than TJ.[/b]  So, saying it's not as good is probably not fair. It's not a whole school magnet, so it isn't ranked the same way.

But none of this matters since we're talking about a 7th grader, and MoCo doesn't accept any students into their magnets in 7th grade.

Plus I have absolutely no idea why you are going on about high school magnet admissions in a different state on a thread about what private schools a middle school parent should look at?   [/quote]

Now that sounds like more hyperbole. TJ ranks #1 in the nation.  Blair doesn't even make the top 25.  So show us some real numbers, not just make up BS assertions. [/quote]

TJ is a whole school magnet.  Blair is a comprehensive high school with an in school magnet.  You can't compare in that way.

Here are some real numbers.

TJ Average SAT (from https://tjhsst.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/inline-files/TJ%20Profile%202020-21.pdf) -- 1512

Blair Magnet Average SAT (from https://mbhs.edu/departments/counseling/MagnetProfile.pdf ) -- 1531

TJ average SAT from 2019.  Blair average SAT from 2018.

TJ average SAT for 436 students.  Blair average SAT for 95 students.

19 point SAT difference insignificant given 1) different test years and 2) TJ’s much larger student pool.

That’s your proof?   You’re reaching hard.

It seems you have no proof for better placement.  You just made that up.
