Base Schools Sending Most Students to TJ

Ookkaayy, let's try a more technical rephrase. Since Franklin based kids go to Carson for AAP, Carson and RR are adjacent middle schoolAAP attendance zones. Is that better? |

FCPS does release pupil placement data & the TJ middle school feeder data every year. FCPS is a public school system in a FOIA world, so this not exactly classified material. Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it's not out there. |

| No surprise, really, that the largest cohorts of TJ students would live in the Langley/McLean areas, is there? |

It would be, if that were true. But Rocky Run + Carson, which serve the western part of the County send significantly more kids than Longfellow + Kilmer. |

It's a different statement that doesn't change the inaccuracy of what you said before. Hughes and South Lakes are "adjacent," but Carson and Rocky Run are not. |

Can you point to FCPS having assembled and made this data (TJ attendance broken down by base high school assignment) publicly available before? Have you obtained it in response to a FOIA request (I have not, but then I wouldn't pay for it, either)? If not, you are just speculating and should put a lid on it. |

You could google. But since that's hard, it's on the FCPS dashboard every year. If you look in the pyramids and programs section, you can access a spread sheet for each high school showing transfers in and out for special programs. There is a separate column for TJ transfer students. Right now, the dashboard shows current year numbers. Last year, it showed SY 2014-2015 numbers, etc. Since last year's data was on the dashboard, I'm sure it's archived somewhere.

maybe. But there were not 15 from Marshall when we started. there were 4. |

| Since 30 from each class dropped, that might be part of the figure. but even then, the numbers do not add up. However, TJ could fill 90% of the class from Langley. |

It was added to the dashboard this fall. The dashboard already existed, but I'm pretty sure it did not include information in this level of detail. If you can show otherwise, please do. Otherwise, I think you're just speculating. |

Perhaps there were students who'd attended private schools in 8th grade but lived in the GCM district or perhaps the number has gone up since you did your count. Four seems very low to me given the number of TJ admits from Kilmer every year, although at least half the Kilmer AAP kids are zoned for Langley or Madison. |

Of course, Carson and Rocky Run AAP (133 admits last year) covers 26 ES, three of the county's largest HS, a good chunk of a fourth HS, and part of a fifth HS. Longfellow and Kilmer AAP (104 admits) cover about 16.5 ES, three of the county's smaller HS, and a small part of a fourth HS. That's consistent with the fact that, when FCPS sorts TJ students who live in FC by base HS, Langley and McLean are the top two. But, by all means, treat Carson and Rocky Run as if they are one big mega-school if it makes you feel better. |

It existed at least last year, because I looked at these spread sheets when looking at pupil placing a child for IB. But since the dashboard is on a continuous update, I can't "prove" it. But if you really care about last year, I sure you could call the central office and they can point you to the archived data. It's probably on board docs somewhere. |

Nice try. The contents of the spread sheets evolve. |
