[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s generally understood that elementary school class sizes are smaller in APS and MS and HS is more rigorous in McLean. Look at the earlier statistics comparing Yorktown with Langley and McLean. The Langley and McLean pyramids each also send over 115 kids to TJHSST, the regional STEM magnet. Yorktown sends about 40. [/quote] I think your number for how many kids Yorktown and TJ is off. Last time I checked, it was about 40 per year for the whole county[/quote] APS reports 42 at TJ from Yorktown, 34 from W-L, and 32 from Wakefield. This is after FCPS adopted a quota system that assures a minimum number of spots to kids at every participating middle school. The remaining seats are then drawn from a general pool. So the number is a good bit higher than 40 now for the whole county, but each of Langley and McLean still get more kids into TJ than all the APS schools. [/quote]
