[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, FFS. Half the applicants -- literally -- were Asian. It's self-selecting and an outlier. Besides, interest in TJ is waning -- applications were down 14% last year.[/quote] Do Asians not count in your world? What a strange remark. My guess is a lot of NMSF students are into places like TJ so they would be attracted to "outlier" stem schools whether in APS or FCPS. [/quote] Different poster, but while they count, they count with an asterisk. A lot of them move to Fairfax (especially from out of the country) just before it's time to think TJ applications, do their best to get their kid into TJ, and then if the kid doesn't get in, move out of Fairfax again. Those aren't kids who are educated in the FCPS so that their performance at TJ is evidence of FCPS being a superior school system; for purposes of this debate, they're basically ringers.[/quote]
