That is completely false. The academic quality appears to be comparable. Your just conflating the impact of covid to create a false narrative. |
Personally I'm all for actual merit, but what I find it odd that some people define merit as doing well on test where kids were given the questions in advance. |
Grades aren't based on much of anything anymore. So many kids have 4.0s or near 4.0s in middle school that there's no way to differentiate between top kids and pretty average ones. Also, the GPA counts for much less than the essays and experience factors. |
They ask for PSAT or SAT scores for froshmore applicants. They know how to select for merit. They use merit for the froshmore class because their racial make-up doesn't make headlines. and that is really what theya re intersted in, the appearance of parity, not actual parity. https://www.fcps.edu/registration/thomas-jefferson-admissions/sophomore-application-process Who do you think you're fooling? |
The grades? It depends on the school. But you're not even selecting the highest GPAs. It's not quite as bad as taking every kids with a 3.5 GPA and at least algebra 1 (which is about 40% of all FCPS 8th graders) and picking them out of a hat but it's pretty fukken random. You've abandoned the concept of merit because you don't want to admit that academic merit is not evenly distributed across all populations. |
Pfft. Scores increased at almost all schools between the year ending 2021 and the year ending 2022 at almost all schools except TJ where they dropped pretty dramatically. https://www.doe.virginia.gov/data-policy-funding/data-reports/statistics-reports/sol-test-pass-rates-other-results I've linked this to you about a dozen times now and you keep saying that test scores dropped at TJ because of covid. Here are the SAT scores up to 2022, notice how TJ didn't really drop 100 points on the SAT. yet they dropped over 100 points on the PSAT given to the class of 2025 freshmen. https://www.fcps.edu/news/fairfax-county-sat-scores-continue-surpass-state-and-global-averages |
Lol, you're such a racist it's almost funny. |
Racists like you just love anonymous forums. Why not just go back to ffx underground where you came from troll. |
