I don't know the number of 8th graders at these schools last year.  It's hard to tell because FCPS reports the number of non-AAP 7th and 8th graders separately, but then lumps all the AAP kids together.  However, here are the TJ admissions as a percentage of all students (7th and 8th AAP and non-AAP) at the schools as of June 2012:

Carson 5.7%
Longfellow 5.4%
Rocky Run 5.1%
Kilmer 3.8%
Frost 1.8%
Jackson 1.7%
Lake Braddock 1.6%
Twain 1.1%

The main impact of looking at percentages vs. raw numbers is that Rocky Run, which is smaller than all the other schools except for Twain, looks better and Lake Braddock, which is the biggest MS in the county, looks worse.  [/quote]

And here's how it would look as a percentage of just 8th grade students, based on the total number of 8th graders enrolled at these schools in the fall of 2011 (as reported on the Department of Education web site for VA):

Carson 11.5%
Longfellow 10.6%
Rocky Run 10.1%
Kilmer 7.8%
Jackson 3.5%
Frost 3.3%
Lake Braddock 3.2%
Twain 2.4%
