[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost a fifth of the class comes from Carson. 45 from Longfellow. 37 from Rocky Run. Wow! Then Kilmer and Frost with low 20s. Not bad for LB either.

But I get PPs point about Eastern FFX supporting this school when it doesn't demographically reflect the county. [/quote]

Eastern Farifax == crappy schools == lower housing values == lower property taxes == providing less $$ for TJ.

Also, parents  who really want the best education for their kids and provide the academic supports necessary to have a kid get into TJ and succeed there are not buying in Eastern Fairfax. Once again. Crappy schools. [/quote]

Your logic doesn't hold up.  Average single-family home in 20170, where Carson is located, is worth $512K.  Average single-family home in 22308, where Sandburg is located, is $651K.  This is about the focus that middle-class Asian families in western Fairfax place on education, and getting their kids into the TJ magnet, not who is paying the most in property taxes to fund TJ.
