Raising the educational performance bar for ALL students in Alexandria CAN be done as proven recently in Louisiana in article below. Stay vigilant and vocal Alexandria City residents! Don't settle.
Charter schools’ progressive promise for the future of US education

"...nearly 13 years ago, one of the effects of the Hurricane Katrina cataclysm was to largely wipe out the city’s abysmal public schools. New Orleans’ educational system was essentially rebuilt from the ground up as a laboratory for charter schools — not a school district with a few charters sprinkled among traditional institutions, but an almost wholly charter-filled system largely run by the state of Louisiana.
The Recovery School District experiment proved successful; New Orleans public schools have improved faster than those of any other city in the nation over the past decade. But 80 percent of the schools were run by the state’s Recovery School District.

Weird thread.
No public school in the DC area other than TJ should expect to have kids attend Princeton every year. It's too selective for that.
For a high school its size, the latest college admissions from TC Williams aren't too impressive, but they reflect the demographics of a city with a lot of poverty and many kids in private school. There are high schools that are 2/3 of TC's size in FCPS with less than 2/3 as many admissions to top schools.

False. No admissions to Princeton. My sister works in admissions there and I specifically asked her if anyone from TC was offered a spot. Nope. Not a one.
Yeah, I'm sure that happened, given that it would have been a huge policy violation for her to give you that information. And that if it were true, you may have just outed yourself given how relatively small the undergraduate admissions office is.
Policy violation? lol
OHHHH! Look! Bullying the nay sayers! How rare!
Maybe it was his wife's sister? Maybe it was her? Maybe you'd need a sh*t ton of luck calling the admissions office and getting an answer about who works where and does what and answers to which emails?
You could FOIA it, right? Or is Princeton not a public school? Dang!
I bet, after you conquer that challenge, you could move on to the 200 year old secret cults at Harvard/Yale/Brown/Upenn, etc that somehow have escaped scrutiny!
We have been waiting for you!
Or maybe you're just a bitter loser!
NP here. Dude, get back on your meds.
I don’t know whether TC sent any kids to Princeton this year, but I know for sure that kids have gone to Princeton from
TC either last year or the year before (or both).
Totally! And the skins were great in '92! Rock on Grandpa!
Last year = 1992??? Like I said, dude, get back on your meds. And this year's class includes Yale. What's your deal?
Apparently pp finds it deeply offensive that anyone might think TC Williams is anything other than a failing shithole full of people who are racist against white people.

DP. Five seconds on google found the college-bound lists from 2017 and 2016 that included Princeton.
I beleive the question was this year, not last year or the one before.
So, how many from the most recent class were accepted to Princeton?
None is your answer.
Stop frothing. Even if you are correct that no one this year was accepted to Princeton (and I have no more reason to believe you spoke to someone in the admissions office than I do to believe the other poster knows someone who was accepted), it doesn’t change the fact that students were accepted to Princeton the past two years, meaning that, even if no one was accepted this year, TC Williams is a school that sends kids to Princeton.
Even if I am correct? I am correct. You're wrong.
Judging from your stubbornness and ignorance its fair to assume it wasn your offspring that got into Princeton.
NOVA CC maybe?

Why are you focused on one college? Let’s compare college matriculations with other nearby high schools with similarly diverse populations. West Potomac, for example.
