I haven’t seen the class of 2026 data yet.

Thank you! Just what I was looking for.[/quote]

So for the Class of 2025 it appears one can either calculate the admissions rates (based on the exact numbers disclosed to FCAG) or infer the admissions rates (based on a range where the minimum is based on the 1.5% set-aside per middle school and the maximum is based on 10, the highest number FCPS treats as "TS" when responding to FOIA requests) as follows:

Herndon 33.3% - 37.0% 
Stone 30.0% - 50.0%
Whitman 29.2% - 41.7%
Liberty 24.2% - 30.3%
Robinson 23.1% - 25.6%
Cooper 20.4%
Hughes 19.5% - 24.4% 
Sandburg 19.4%
Rocky Run 18.9%
Longfellow 18.8%
Franklin 17.9% - 25.6%
Hayfield 17.9% - 25.6%
Poe 17.9% - 35.7%
Carson 17.1%
Glasgow 17.1%  
Jackson 15.7%
Key 15.0% - 25.0% 
South County 14.8% - 18.5%
Irving 14.3% - 17.9% 
Thoreau 14.1% - 15.6%
Holmes 12.5% - 25.0%
Twain 10.5% - 13.2%
Lake Braddock 10.0% 
Frost 9.3% - 10.3% 
Lanier 9.2% - 11.5%
Kilmer 7.1% - 8.9%

Take-aways:

1.  Highest admit rates were from non-AAP center schools with relatively few applicants.

2.  The apparent goal to stick it to the traditional FCPS middle-school feeders (Rocky Run, Longfellow, and Carson) was somewhat successful (they still sent the most kids, but roughly half as many as in the past).

3.  The lowest admit rates were from from AAP center schools (Twain, Lake Braddock, Frost, Lanier, and Kilmer) that traditionally had not sent the most kids to TJ, but saw their admission rates drop further under the new approach.  These families had no way to have anticipated, of course, that they were diminishing their kids' chances of getting into TJ by sending them to AAP centers. [/quote]
