So although it says Centreville has XX, I'd be curious how many actually came from Liberty. Let's say 8 got in for the past 3 years, that really leaves about half that didn't attend Centreville's feeder/are AAP.

Same could be said for Westfield with some of those kids attending Rocky Run as well.

I wish they showed AAP status of the admitted.

Yes, that's correct. The information in the OP tells you the high schools that TJ students living in Fairfax County would be assigned to if they weren't attending TJ. It doesn't tell you what middle schools they attended. FCPS releases some information on the middle school admissions to TJ, but won't give you the exact number if it's fewer than 10.

In the case of Liberty, based on the 1.5% set-aside, Liberty is guaranteed about 7 slots every year, so in theory at least 28 kids now at TJ should have attended Liberty. No doubt more TJ students attended Rocky Run.

NP.

Thank you OP for providing this data.

Others: YES - its obvious the data in imperfect, as it does not differentiate:

- private school students
- home schooled students
- non FFX county students

And it does not account for split-feeder schools. So, for example, while Longfellow traditionally matriculated 100% to McLean HS (minus TJ admits), other HS receive students from multiple MS.

Still, it provides a rough approximation.

Why are there so few TJ students admitted from the Justice, Herndon, and Mount Vernon pyramids?

Is there a center school in any of those pyramids?

Look at the tab for "Student Transfers." While it still refers to SY 2023-24, the data has actually been updated for SY 2024-25.

This is the most BS Tableau dashboard I've ever seen. Please get some of those TJ kids to design a proper dashboard that gives you some intuitive information. I shudder to think of the nonsense "data" people FCPS has on staff.

Justice pyramid has AAP centers at Belvedere ES and Glasgow MS.

Herndon pyramid has an AAP center at Clearview ES.

Mount Vernon pyramid has an AAP center at Riverside ES.

1. Not enough interest

2. Not enough kids that view it as the “right spot” for themselves probably.

Is the question why few are admitted or why few choose to enroll? In the cases of Mount Vernon and especially Herndon I'd expect the prospective commute times would play a role in those decisions as well and deter some percentage of qualified students from applying and/or attending.
