do they send out all the applicants result at the same time? |

6/25, Friday

Well tomorrow, 6/18 is the last day of school for Arlington County. I guess they'll look at all of the year end grades for FX, Loudoun and Arlington and just send one batch out for the initial round.
Just guessing |

Why is it taking so long? I am extremely suspicious that FCPS is engaging in illegal activities (selecting based on race) to select the class of 2025.
We need to FOIA this process as MUCH as possible and hold them accountable. How are they actually “ranking” applicants? The pending lawsuit should use this information to help their case. The school board met 9 times this school year trying to get the process right. Why have families not been notified yet? It is not fair to the students, parents or TJHSST staff. How will this incredible delay effect the ability of students to register for the right classes their freshman year? The freshman already will not have access to the normal summer classes (RS and computer science). What a mess. What a disgrace. |
I assume it is taking so long because the essays were easy to write and now it is virtually impossible to rank students based on almost completely indiscernible differences in the essays. |
Waiting another week will just make people more suspicious of the process. Hopefully they come out today. |
Not today ... end of this month surely .. |
Well, they said June so of course by end of month. The later it is, the more crappy it is. Schools out. People should know by now. |
I knew few families are waiting for these results ... not going on summer vacation

It’s another debacle. Given how they are tearing TJ up anyway, they should have just done a lottery earlier this spring.
When we spoke to Elaine Tholen last year, she said she was against big changes to TJ, but of course she just went along with the flow. |
| So, that 1.5% of middle school students will fill all the seats of TJ? |
No. 1.5% of all FCPS 8th graders would be far fewer than 300. I don't know how many seats Loudoun and Arlington get, but that should not be too many. I am assuming that the private schools etc have to wait with the general population? |
I think they still had very few minorities among applicants and qualified candidates. So no matter how they slice it, they end up with 70% Asians among the top kids - which is not the result they were instructed to achieve. They are probably brainstorming the ways to manipulate the results in order to come up with the desired outcome. |
I’m an advocate for extreme reform, and this is exactly the outcome I expected. Which makes it all the more disgusting how those fighting for the status quo spread lies saying how drastically the numbers would change. A lottery is only the way forward. |
