SMH at the number of people who are spewing venom because that is what they are good at[/quote]

Is it true that 30 Longfellow kids got in out of 200 applicants versus 1 Whitman kid out of 2 applicants?

What is FCPS hiding by not releasing the number of applicants from each school?  [/quote]

Carson is the only FCPS middle school that has regularly had more than 200 applicants to TJ.  Its AAP program draws from ES feeders in multiple pyramids.

Whitman had about 420 8th grade students last year, so it would have been allotted 6 seats to TJ under the 1.5% formula  If at least 6 kids meeting the minimum requirements applied, at least 6 would have been admitted.  If only 2 applied, and they both met the minimum requirements, both would have been admitted. [/quote]

But the way it really works the 1.5% only accounts for half of the 500 seats so Carson could potentially place another 250 kids if they are the best.[/quote]
