[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It's not uncommon for a place with such a high percentage to have YoY variation. I'm sure it will be different next year.[/quote]

Sure, there's year over year variation. But nowhere near what we see, because for statistical purposes, these are large enough numbers that you're not going to see them going all over the place.

The point is you can and it happens all the time.[/quote]

No it doesn't.

If it happens all the time then point to another school with over 100 NMSFs that dropped almost in half.  Just one.[/quote]

It's not about some set number but the percentages. The bottom line is COVID had a real impact on kid's development. This is well documented.[/quote]

Once again, how did it not affect the class of 2022, 2023 and 2024 but DID affect the class of 2025 4 years later?[/quote]
