[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year, TJ had 35.3% of the VA NMSF. This year, they only have 20.6% of the VA NMSF.

It's a huge drop, no matter how people try to spin things.  It should have been obvious to everyone that when you admit kids based on geographic diversity, essays, and experience factors rather than test scores, test scores will drop.  [/quote]

What are the FCPS percentages of VA semifinalists?[/quote]
FCPS (including TJ) had 56.5% of the VA semifinalists last year.  It has 48.6% of the semifinalists this year.  [/quote]

The [b]NMSF ratio of FCPS/VA [/b]hasn’t changed significantly, but the NMSF ratios of TJ/FCPS (67% and 63% in 2022 and 2023 vs. 42% in 2024) and TJ/VA (35.3% in 2023 vs. 20.6% in 2024) have decreased significantly. COVID and the learning loss caused by the pandemic are not valid excuses as they affected all FCPS schools.  In fact, the COVID positive rate at TJ was much lower than the rates in base schools.[/quote]

Cite on the VA numbers? [/quote]

They're just trying to cover up that COVID and learning loss are the reason for this to help push the false narrative about admissions. Some people liked being able to buy their kid's way into TJ and will say anything to get back to a system that favors wealthy feeder schools.[/quote]
