[quote=Anonymous]I hope this does diversify the student body, but I hope that FCPS does not think a lottery alone will meet the needs of many kids. Some kids will make the assessment that base school will be better for college acceptance - that has always been true. In addition, workload, family time commitment (lack of late buses), longer school day, and lack of opportunity to take non-STEM classes are traditional factors that keep kids from applying or accepting TJ. I hope FCPS/TJ take this into account and improve transportation options for areas high in FARMS/URMS to set conditions for success.Our TJ bus depot was a Title I ES, about 5 miles from TJ, and the one way bus trip was an hour - the route had to include so many schools because just a handful (in our case 2) kids at each stop.
