Does sound like TJ. DiBlasio’s proposed solution for NY is to admit the top students from every middle school - geographic equality as a stand-in for equity. Might work. Look at SF’s experience with Lowell HS - geography-plus. FCPS will begin TJ reform plan this year.

Has anyone been following this?[/quote]

No, but this is a terrible idea. It came up a few years ago and a bunch of parents said outright that they'll simply rent in less-desirable school middle school boundaries to increase their kids' chances if FCPS goes this route. [b]FCPS is loathe to admit it, but they're well-aware that the county has a vested interest in not losing the TJ and AAP parents.[/b] I think they'll talk a big game but never follow through.[/quote]

LOL!

And... where exactly are these parents going to go?

Too funny pp!  [/quote]

Private schools. There some good, smaller parochial schools that don't break the bank. I know people who moved their kids from private to public once their kids were accepted into AAP. Parents can move the money they put into enrichment and test prep into tuition. FCPS does not want to lose those test score from their schools. [/quote]
