How big is that school district then :O
Technically, Virginia (like Maryland) does not have "school districts" in the traditional sense, but school divisions that are governed by the county, city, or other geographic division. In the case of Virginia, the school division that holds those 17 schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, serves an area with a population around 1.1 million. It's still impressive that 17 schools came from it, as there are 25 high and secondary schools part of FCPS.
It's worth noting that Virginia appears to have open regionals, as teams from FCPS appeared at multiple regional tournaments. This is likely contributing to the geographic skew. This is a case where I believe open regionals may be actively holding back Virginia's potential for expansion into less-served areas of the state.
Does the fact that TJ has been a pretty good school for a lot of time have anything to do with increasing the competitiveness of Fairfax County?
I suspect Fairfax County in general is a competitive area, with a combination of large schools and a highly affluent population. TJ, being a magnet school, ends up being even more competitive.

I had tryouts this week. I've been stressing over it since the end of last season. The team list was posted today, and I made it! I'm so excited for this season. Practices start next week, and I'm eager to get to work. I've missed Science Olympiad so much, and I couldn't be happier to be back on the team!
CONGRATUATIONS!!
THANK YOU
Yay!

the feeling of people seeing your pleads for help but not acting upon them, wanting you to just not exist anymore, hurts more than any other.
Are you feeling okay? If you would like to talk to about something, there's lots of us on the forums who will gladly chat with you! My PM's are open as well! :)
Seconded.
Mine're open, too.
