[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JR and TJ are almost exactly the same size schools.

JR: 1 NMSF
TJ: 81 NMSF

So…you admit TJ is superior to every school around here, including all Big3 schools, right?

81 is 20% of the class…that crushes everyone.

You understand that DC is not even allotted 81 spots, right? VA gets almost 400.[/quote]

I assume it is proportional to population, no?  Also, are you claiming there are other DC kids with the appropriate score that are not NMSFs because of a spot cutoff?

The larger point is that if people are going to measure the worth of any school based on the percentage of any one school having NMSF, then you have to concede TJ crushes everyone.

Strange that the only comparison being made is an elite application magnet in a suburb to a DCPS comprehensive public school.  Let’s be fair and compare that school to all DMV school.[/quote]

The question here isn’t whether TJ “crushes.” Obviously it does: it is a highly selective school that draws on a very large UMC application pool in a state with a much bigger allocation of finalists. The question is whether the whining PPs on here actually have kids that could get into TJ. My strong suspicion is no, they do not. Their beef here is that their children are not getting what they believe they are entitled to, which is a zone HS with only “high performing” kidw that will automatically launch Larlo to where he belongs in the T20.

Certainly JR isn’t Whitman or Langley…the demographics are dramatically different.[/quote]
