[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's prompting the premise of the question?[/quote]

Covid hurt a lot of students academically so may be we are seeing fewer students capable of high level work. The real estate has skyrocketed too so may be more families are moving elsewhere.[/quote]

That’s not what pp meant. She meant what is the basis for OPs assertion that there are fewer smart kids in nova capable of doing advanced work. OP made an assertion without any facts, data or even anecdotes.[/quote]

Northern Virginia in general had fewer NMSFs than in the past - many fewer at TJ making up most of the difference without a big enough corresponding bump at other schools. I can't remember if anyone did the work to factor in privates as well as just other area publics. So it's quite possible that's related and it is an actual real data point as opposed to a floating assertion.[/quote]

The year before last was a strange blip with a lower cutoff and a larger number of NMSFs, including a large number from TJ.  Last year, the cutoff was higher, back to normal.

Look at trends, not single data points.[/quote]

The trend is still lower?[/quote]
