[quote=Anonymous]We are at a top 5 or 6 traditional feeder school and an AAP center. My child was in AAP classes / Honors Algebra 1 and got accepted to TJ. I know of other students with higher math and similar or slightly higher grades that were denied. I do feel bad for the many students who have worked very hard, studied, did STEM ECs whether or not they test prepped. My child Did not do any test prep and Probably would not have applied under the old system because test prep was not an option for our family nor did we really know about it. Child does not have any STEM extracurriculars but it seems that is not a factor anymore and also a reason wouldn’t have applied under the old system. Although happy for the TJ offer, do not believe the change in admissions policy is legal and hope that it is reversed. I read the legal filings for the lawsuits and listened to comments made by school board members and others involved with the changes and it is shocking and blatantly racist against Asians. I will not understand if the court outcomes are in favor of the FCPS school board. These changes to admissions policy were clearly made with the intent to discriminate against Asian kids. [/quote]
