My son received admission to TJ and AOS. We are now trying to decide which one to choose from. As parents, we want to help him to make an informed decision. We live Loudoun County. We would really appreciate if you can help us clarify the questions:

Is there difference in TJ GPA with AOS GPA? (I was told that TJ students study hard to get the same GPA with similar courses as in base school)

Are there any advantages to study in TJ over AOS? or AoS over TJ?

He likes to study Astro Phsicics, Quantum Mechanics and related fields. I guess both school provide exposure to this?

I also like him to continue his other activities outside school such as Scout, Piano, Basketball.

Is AoS now as well known as TJ to colleges? Do colleges know AoS?

Any guidance/suggestions would really help!

Thanks in advance.
