[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do they determine the top 1.5%? Surely a lot of kids in the same middle school are going to have straight A's in the core subjects and will be in honors classes. Certainly more kids in each school will meet that criteria and want to go than the 10-15 that get selected.[/quote] Are you new to FCPS? The 1.5% is the initial seat allocation for a MS. Any kid from the MS who meets the criteria (GPA, courses) can apply. In the first pass, they will offer seats up to the allocation # iff the applicants test well enough. Some schools will use all of the seats, others won’t. After that, there are many other seats available for other kids who test in. In the end, some MSs will have less than 1.5% and some will have more. If you need more detail, I can dig up specific numbers after coffee. [/quote]
