[quote=Anonymous][quote=febegaj]I see contradicting answers and I am still confused.
So suppose we have 3 middle schools, each with 100 students.
School A is FCPS "lower-performing", school B is FCPS "high-performing" and school C is private.
We have 3 students x,y,z from schools A,B and C respectively. All 3 students have the same academic level.
What are (roughly) the TJ admission odds for each student?[/quote]

A Good performing student in a low performing school has the best chance of getting into TJ. But depending on the number of qualified students, they may not even use 1.5% quota. Anything unused goes to unallocated

Students from high performing schools (Longfellow, Carson, Rocky Run, Cooper) gets > 1.5% when it is all done because when they are ranked with others as part of the unallocated quota, these kids get in.
My son got into TJ from Longfellow and have seen how competitive kids are from these top schools. You pretty much need GPA 4 from those schools to get in + writing the best SPS and STEM response

Private schools have no reserved quota and kids from private are in the unallocated seats
