This is based on FCPS data about "transfers" within FCPS pyramids.  The only other thing one can discern from this data is that 68% of current TJ students (1345 in total) live in Fairfax County and the other 32% presumably live in Arlington, FCC, Loudoun, and Prince William.  It doesn't tell you whether the students were homeschooled or attended private school before attending TJ. [/quote]

Interesting. Why does fcps open up TJ to other non FCPS students? Is that stipulated somewhere? With the demand of interest, doesn’t make sense. [/quote]

TJ isn't an FCPS school, it's a governor's school.  It's for all the districts that want it (not ACPS, they have declined).[/quote]

In fact, FCPS numbers would go down to ~ 40-50% if PWC took all of their spots. [/quote]

since the no of students is supposed to be allocated according to population of the counties/citi

It should be approximately:

[b]Fairfax 40%, PWC 30%, Loudoun 20%, Arlington 9%, FCC 1%. [/b][/quote]

This will be the composition in 5 years.[/quote]

No, the distance is a real deterrent.  There's no way around it.[/quote]

+1 they have trouble getting kids from southern Fairfax county to attend, that’s a lot closer than most of prince William [/quote]

Lot of Indians are moving to PWC to gain admission to TJ.[/quote]

I don't believe that, but that's what they did in Loudoun so maybe.  How do you know?[/quote]

There were hardly any Indians at the main bus stop (PWC) 10 years ago and it is almost all Indians now. That's how I know.[/quote]

That would have nothing to do with TJ.  [/quote]

The bus stop is for the TJ students.[/quote]

I see.  It could still just be an overall influx in the area, with people now settling further out than Fairfax.
I think it is possible people could move for a year to specifically get an automatic spot from Prince William, but it would seem easier to just go to a weaker school in Fairfax.
I know of people in Loudoun who moved further west to get automatic spots.  [/quote]
