It all started when the admission result for 2020 was released and showed a break down by race. Black students were TS ( too small less than 10). Please stop with the revision history. It has nothing to do with geo locations, economic factors. The whole thing started because FCPS didn't like the racial makeup and it engineered a racial balancing policy. FCPS used George Floyd's tragedy - again a racial conflict - to push through the change.

The enacted geo quota and experience factors are proxy to race to achieve that goal.

TJ is the most diverse school FCPS has by many other dimensions. It's just not diverse by a strange definition of race that lumps all Asians into a single category.

Most diverse in what category?

There were 0.6% low-income admitted for class of 24. Only 6% from underrepresented schools. Many middle schools had zero students admitted.

TJ is the most diverse school in the county.

Yeah, you don’t get to claim that when 30% of the county along either racial or socioeconomic metrics are virtually absent from your demographic.

You have to do the work if demonstrating why your desired diversity is the better one.

Be bold, Dr. Reid! Ask the questions the faux liberals on the School Board don’t raise.

Agree TJ is a waste of resources. Either end it or go full lottery. At least, the other 95% of the population may benefit.

Highest % of insane parents?

Nah. it takes Governor/legislative action to change a governor's school back to base school so it ain't happening so stop wasting people's time with this. It ain't going back to base school and lottery ain't happening so stop wasting time.

It’s a community resource that isn’t set aside solely for a small portion of the community.

It should be a private school period. It has nothing to do with 95% of students and the money spent for this special school deserves to be spent on the other 95% of students instead.

If you’re a parent of a kid who already graduated, you got yours, so naturally you are in favor of that.

If you’re not connected at all to THHSST, thanks for playing. Please take a seat.

Where in the charter does it say it should only serve a handful of wealthy middle schools?

Every year FCPS applies for TJ to be redesignated as a Governor's School for the upcoming year, so stop spreading misinformation.

Where in the charter does it say it should discriminate against kids attending certain middle schools because the schools are "wealthy"?

It's a shit show either way.

You: We need fruit, therefore, apples.
Me: We have a lot of other fruits already, why is apples better?
You: Because it IS fruit.

TJ is the most diverse school in the county.

+1

By a huge margin.

What standard are you using to claim that TJ is the most diverse in the county?

According to US news it’s enrolment of Black Hispanic and low income kids is abysmal.

2.4 % Hispanic

1.9% black

2% economically disadvantaged

Compare that to census data for Fairfax country

https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fairfaxcountyvirginia

Black - 10.6%

Hispanic- 16.5%

Poverty - 5.3%
