[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading all the responses, I can't figure out if people are happy about the TJ college list or not (haters).  I am from out of state and just lurk here so I had to look up TJHS because I had never heard of it. It's a magnet school, you had to take a test to get in so the kids students are going to be smart = good school acceptances. [/quote]

Many people bash the school even though it is considered the "best" high school in the country with the highest average SAT score, highest number of NMSF, great facilities, good teachers, good  college placements etc. since Asians make up about 68% of the students. [/quote]

It is #5, not the best in the country--it is [b]one of the best[/b].  Those schools are in TX and AZ. That said, I think it is awesome to have one of the best schools in the DMV area.[/quote]

You are using Old DATA.  I used 2016: http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/national-rankings
[/quote]

You are using only ONE SOURCE. Others have not come out with 2016 rankings yet.[/quote]

The data used to base the rankings are the same.  The only ranking not out is Newsweek.  The other sources you used are reporting from US news and Newsweek.  [/quote]

No they are not. "other sources" are using Niche.com.[/quote]

And I provided the link to NICHE, and TJ is not #1: https://k12.niche.com/rankings/public-high-schools/best-overall/[/quote]

According to Newsweek it is and considering all of the rankings, it seems TJ is the only school that appears in the top 5 for all of the rankings.[/quote]
