[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ has the best college acceptances in the country in pure numbers. About 30% to top 25, about 80% to top 35 and they receive one of the most merit based scholarships about $180,000 per student on average including some universities that do not give out much merit scholarships to OOS students.[/quote]

Seems inflated. Can you share the source for these numbers please?[/quote]

There is a link earlier in this thread to 2022 dollege destinations:

80% to T35 is a little inflated, depending on your personal T35 ranking - maybe you should use STEM-heavy rankings for TJ grads.  But it's at least 50% to T50 by any T50 ranking.

But in a 180,000 student county, you should expect the to 1800ish (1%) students to be getting into T50 schools, right? and TJ has the 500 of those top 1% students, so TJ acceptances should be expected to be T50 heavy. Note that I didn't say TJ students were the top 500 students in the county - I recognize noise in the selection process and the presence of top 1% students at all FCPS high schools.
