[quote=Anonymous]Articles from 7/20/12 http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/virginia-schools-insider/post/parent-group-pushing-for-tj-admission-changes/2012/07/20/gJQAHpsqxW_blog.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/fairfax-school-board-debates-thomas-jefferson-high-admissions/2012/07/19/gJQAL011wW_story.html One item I find interesting is a fact from the Powerpoint presentation linked in the first article. According to that presentation, about 70% or more of the current admissions decisions are based on subjective factors like student essays, and only a very small percentage of admissions decisions are based on objective test scores. This is contrary to a claim I often see on DCUM and other message boards, where some people say that TJ admissions are mostly based on objective test scores.[/quote]
