[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These kids are in the top 25 percent of their middle school.  So it's not like they wouldn't be in the top 25 percent likely at their base high school.  Others can surpass them but it's not like they somehow just dropped down to the 50th percentile of their base high school very often just because of grades. [/quote]

Are you serious? Do you know how many kids in FCPS don’t apply or do apply to TJ and are rejected who were in the top 25% of their 8th grade class? You cannot base how a kid will do at 17/18 on how they did at 13/14. [/quote]

I don't know. The kids I saw smashing it at Mathcounts in 7th and 8th grade continued to be the top kids at TJ then at Harvard/MIT.[/quote]
Interestingly, all the TJ news releases from the principal and supervisor rely on these advanced math and science student achievements, the same students that admissions limits in number under diversity quotas.  [/quote]

The Asian kids work, work, work all the time. Most are not fun to be around but they will go to MIT.[/quote]
 Maybe they do. However, TJ is [b]the only school I'm aware of[/b] where kids are seen practicing for upcoming dance performance in the school hallways, with at least one celebration every month.  My kid who never shook a leg before, has learnt bhangra from his TJ peers, did his first stage performance ever in freshman, and never misses a chance to perform now[/quote]

Really? How many high schools are you at where you are visiting the hallways?! Sampling of one…[/quote]
