[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Madison and West Springfield are the prime examples of pyramids where the demographics would suggest a lot more kids going to TJ but for the fact that TJ isn’t really coveted in those communities. The areas that feed into Carson are at the other extreme.[/quote]

What demographics are these??[/quote]

Low FARMS, high test scores, parents who probably aren't working at least two jobs each and could handle the TJ logistics.  Yet the kids still aren't especially interested in TJ.  West Springfield pyramid has less than 20 kids to TJ (all four grades). Madison has more but still only a fraction of the number from Oakton, McLean, Langley or Chantilly. [/quote]

Given that TJ is 70% Asian... I'm thinking there would be a correlation b/t the percentage of Asian kids in a HS pyramid catchment area and the number of kids from that pyramid who attend TJ.

Oakton, McLean, Langley and Chantilly all have a higher percentage of Asian students than Madison and West Springfield.  And presumably, their Asian populations would be even larger if TJ wasn't there (at the former schools) -- since that is primarily who they are losing to TJ.  [/quote]
