[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp who keeps arguing 1/3 of the class being low income is plausible….is it because you think they lowered the barbTHAT much? Low income students generally struggle at MUCH higher rates re: academics in FCPS than other kids - and that is comparing them just to the average testing level not the top. Why do you think it is believable that SO many now meet the TJ requirements ? I know they are lower than prior years but they still do mandate GOA and classes that are far less common for low income students. [/quote]

:roll:

There are only 550 seats. Fewer if you are just looking at FCPS. Out of the approx 3800 low-income 8th graders in FCPS I’m sure there are at least 180 well-qualified students who will succeed at TJ.

I know one low-income kid who was just admitted and this kid is great. Very bright, hard worker, received recognition from school in an academic area. Too in classes. Only in Alg I honors because they moved here two years ago and didn’t understand the rat race math early on. Anyway. Great kid. TJ will be lucky to have them. Glad they have the opportunity with the new admissions process.

I’m sure some unethical parents answered yes, but very unlikely it was many because most understood what the question represented and they didn’t want to cheat. [/quote]
