Ouch.  These numbers are brutal. No wonder FCPS buried them/ waited six week to release them.  Nearly equal male/female applicants, but 60% male acceptances.  We are past "math is hard" for girls. The applied accepted should not skew that badly.  Only 17 AA plus Hispanic admits out of 400 applicants. 75% (!!!)Asian, but Asians were only 54% of the applicants, which is ridiculous, especially in light of all the Asian cheating rings.  8 FARMS admits out of almost 300.  These admit numbers are way, way skewed. More so than usual.

TJ Parent here, and not at all pleased. This is a public high school.  220 Hispanic applicants, and only 8 were qualified?  Only 87 of 763 white applicants accepted.  Really? TJ had enough of an admissions demographics problem before. These numbers are worse than they have ever been.  TJ doesn't need the bad publicity or the lawsuits. Or more pressure to cheat.

I guess this explains why TJ is going for the new and improved "unpreppable" math test for next year and adding a  science reasoning section without a lot of prep material.  This is not sustainable.

It's not a quota school based on skin color. Nor should it be. It is a school based on intellectual ability. Period,
