If you think your kid was quota-ed out at your home middle school, then they should be geniuses enough to get a county-wide offer, right?

The only way to be quotaed out is if there is a maximum quota per school. Do they have a list of admissions by school the past four years? Are Stone Hill Brambleton, and Eagle Ridge sitting at 20-25 every year?

Reading comprehension doesn’t seem to be your strong suit. There are three rounds of admission as not every initial offered kid within the initial quota accepts, nor do they fill all the slots. So they go back county-wide and now a school can have more than their initial 8-12 allotment.

Think about it, if a school has 8 spots by population, only 6 kids actually apply - those two empty spots have to go somewhere. Not every middle school has 50 Brambletonians applying.

If only 6 apply, they can't be quota-ed out. I am claiming that even if there are 50 applying at Brambleton(and it is much more) and even if 30 of them are scoring high on the county wide pool, they will not let #s 26-30 in because there is a maximum quota. Other Brambleton students would have to decline offers.

Again, you’re wrong. Read again.

You speak with such authority. How do you know this? As in, feel free to provide the link from which you are getting this information.

There also isn't three rounds of admissions. All the offers go out at once, and then they go to the waitlist as these are rejected.
Yes a school goes over its minimum quota. However, a school will go over this allocation during the first round of admissions- they go to countyiwde allcation before they send out offers.
There is a separate allocation that is about double the minimum quota that is the maximum quota.

its not three rounds, but three deciding factors in order before they release all the offers (20% across the board, then MS allocations, then declined/not enough applications)

get to know an administrator or ask your math and spectrum teachers. if Willard has 10 spots and they can only physically fill 8 due to applications, then those two go back to the pool to be filled. they can be filled by Brambleton, or Smarts Mill, or any other MS in the county. every kid who applies is racked and stacked and they just take the next one.

but also, that next one might be a kid from Purcellville who has a better application. you don't know

That Willard spot will not be available for students from Brambleton or Stone Hill or Eagle Ridge that are at their maximum quota.

It will if a kid from Brambleton, Stone Hill, or Eagle Ridge is next up in the order of merit list. This "maximum quota" doesn't exist.

You say that, but where is the yearly admissions by school that would show this? They passed a maximum quota in 2020. Nice to know if they got rid of it.

They post % offered and accepted every year. Would love to see documentation on a maximum quota that doesn't exist.

Aug 2020 school board meeting. It is about five hours into the video.

That video holds no maximum quota. Read the preso again. Man, no wonder why your kid didn't get in.

If they cannot fill the expected quota by census, they will go county-wide to determine the next admission. Also, this is almost 5 years old at this point and has changed. Teacher recommendations matter, as do real grades. They specifically denote in this 2020-2021 policy that they *don't* just because of COVID.

It also doesn't say a minimum quota, though presumably they admit 2% of a total of 7500 8th graders, so 75% of that would be 1.5%.
You are correct that maximum quota is not listed there, though the slides are not what I remember. I remember Willard's 31, but also 10 for AOS and 11 for AET for another school, which was the maximum quota, but that is not in that meeting. Everything else I remember is in this meeting. I didn't notice at the time but there appears to be a quota for low-income as well.
