This is why I think kids who aren't a part of FCPS from at least 5th grade onward should be heavily scrutinized and should have to clear a higher bar to be admitted to TJ.  TJ should serve real FCPS students.  It shouldn't serve FCPS tourists or private school kids (who are clearly more advantaged than their public school counterparts).  [b]TJ shouldn't even be accepting kids who are foreign citizens who move to FCPS in 7th or 8th[/b] solely to apply to TJ.

That's not legal, it's a public school.  [/quote]

How is it not legal?  The application process is holistic, and they can accept or reject anyone using whatever criteria they use.  Students rejected from TJ are still given a spot at their local high school.    [/quote]

How can you reject non-citizens from one or two countries and not all non-citizens? Think about that for a minute. You're saying a kid should have to be a documented US citizen to be able to apply to a public magnet school? The Washington Post would be all over that story.[/quote]
