[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]81 NMSF from TJ.[/quote]

Compared to 165 in the class of 2024?

Wow.  The Democrats controlling the School Board really know how to tank FCPS.  There are certainly not 84 more NMSFs from the other schools this year to compensate for what they did to TJ.

Way to keep running FCPS into the ground, Rachna, Ricardy, Melanie, and Karl.  You have made a complete shambles of everything you’ve touched. [/quote]

Not an excuse, but the cutoff score did go up for Virginia so the numbers were inflated last year and deflated this year.[/quote]

NMSF is awarded to the kids who are in the top 0.5% of PSAT scores in their state.  If the cutoff score for VA increased, then the students at the top did better this year compared to last year, meaning they needed a higher score to capture only the top 0.5%.  None of this explains why FCPS and TJ have so much of a lower share of the VA NMSF this year than previous years.

I am curious about which counties saw large increases in their share of NMSF.  Loudoun county's numbers seem similar or even a bit worse than previous years.  [/quote]
