DCPS is 11% ELL (aka ESOL) and 15% special needs students. 80% are economically disadvantaged. |

But if you are adding Howard County and Frederic County then Stafford County should be added along with all of the outlying VA counties that are also not part of the dc metro area. The coutie included should be the ones serviced by the metro system, plus any areas included in the National Capital region BAH pay. Howard County is not.part of DC metro, even if a handful of people commute from there. |

I added Howard, but not Frederick. I would only add Frederick if also adding Stafford. Anyway, it's just a list on DCUM. |

I added Howard, but not Frederick. I'd only add Frederick if I had the time and was also adding Stafford, assuming there is decent data for both jurisdictions. |

Howard does not have a magnet high school taking out 400 students from the other high schools in the county. I also don't think there are too many private high schools in Howard. |

FCPS does not surprise me at all. TJ admits are concentrated in certain parts of the county (RRMS, Carson, Longfellow as feeders). Other parts of the county send very few kids. Without TJ, Westfield, Chantilly, SLHS, Oakton, McLean, Langley and Woodson each have 40-50 more kids scoring at or near NMSF level/ around 1500– 200 or more points higher than the mean of the schools currently. If you have 500 kids take the SAT per class, that’s a huge bump.
My. Vernon has a terrible rep in FCPS. I’m shocked how many schools scored below it. |

Top 20: 11 from VA (including TJ, with 200 points on the next school) 8 from MD 1 from DC Interesting! You can play this game all day... |

And even with their high SAT scores, NoVa schools cannot compete academically, except TJ. |
