[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FALSE. The groups that saw the largest increases in representation at TJ were Hispanic and black students.

Comparing TJ enrollment in fall of 2020 to the fall of 2024
[b]+ 83 Hispanic students (+151%)
+ 74 black students (+231%)[/b]
+ 50 more white students (+15%)
+ 24 more multi/other (+27%)
- 28 fewer Asian students (-2%)

Yes, it's a far more welcoming place to many minorities than it had been. A more diverse group than ever applies now that admission isn't so rigged to favor the wealthy feeders. Everyone knows the admission stats simply reflect the application stats.[/quote]

Between 2019 and 2020 (the last year FCPS seems to have published the racial breakdown of applicants)
Asian applicants went from 1423 to 1535     +112
Black applicants went from 160 to 272         +112
Hispanic applicants went from 208 to 272     +64
White applicant went from 595 to 726          +131
multiracial applicants went from 153 to 206   +53

The largest increase in the applicant pool seems to once again be white kids.
Everybody understood who this was supposed to benefit.

It seems like this data is published routinely. Even recently, the exact number of applicants and accepted students for each racial cohort was posted here and people were debating the diffs between 2023 and 2024.[/quote]

I haven't seen it.  Do you have a link.  [/quote]
