[quote=Anonymous]We are hearing people complain why our community school, Poe Middle, is not sending in substantial number of TJ applicants and thus not gaining high seat count as other schools like Carson Middle.  First off based on recent years data, Poe middle has sent around 25 applicants, which is significant given only a quarter of our students are math proficient at grade level, where as Carson Middle sent around 280 applicants well over ten times with very high math proficiency.  Our students are getting blamed for lack of STEM interest, which is not true.  Teach our students proper math and science, and out students will send in more TJ applications than Carson Middle, and get more seats.

FCPS should fix our school issues starting with chronic absenteeism, make sure basic as well as advanced math is taught to entire class, and stop making this a racial issue of why our majority hispanic and black student body is not scoring significant number of TJ seats.  We have fantastic teachers, but unless overall school issues are resolved, their lessons cannot be delivered effectively, and our students cannot learn math and science.  [/quote]
