[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The following schools aren’t filling the 1.5% quota of students (or they don’t have 1.5% of the students from each 8th grade class remaining at TJ). Basically if a student applied to TJ from one of these schools over the past 4 years and had the minimum GPA/math and honors courses they were pretty much guaranteed admissions.

Lake Braddock 40 (1.5% would be 44-45 students)
Edison 33 (1.5% would be 33-34 students)
South Lakes 31 (1.5% would be 36-37 students)
West Potomac 31 (1.5% would be 39-40 students)
Justice 27 (1.5% would be 33-34 students)
South County 27 (1.5% would be 30-31 students)
Falls Church 23 (1.5% would be 30-31 students)
Herndon 23 (1.5% would be 31-32 students)
Mount Vernon 19 (1.5% would be 26-27 students)

The 1.5% # of students is probably slightly higher than my numbers as they round up each year.[/quote]

The quotas are for middle schools so you could have middle schools filling their quotas in ways that benefit certain feeders but not others.  So there are quotas for the middle school kids at Lake Braddock but if slots get taken by AAP kids from Robinson it makes LB look under-represented.

Or, to take another example, Falls Church may look under-represented if slots at Jackson are taken by AAP kids in the Oakton and Madison areas and slots at Poe are taken by kids zoned to Annandale. It doesn’t necessarily mean the middle schools aren’t using their quotas.  [/quote]
