[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we can pretty much put a pin in this one.

The new policies have resulted in a drop in standardized testing scores both in general, and a significant drop in URM standardized test scores. This accounts for roughly 30% of the scoring rubric by USNews.

At the tippy top of the rankings, Im sure the margin is narrow and this is enough to drop many spots and will probably result in another drop next year.

Its pretty much just as nonsense as Great Schools rankings.[/quote]
The drop in ranking highlights the declining standards at TJ. Specifically, without a merit-based entrance test, TJ admissions cannot select merit-based URM students from the pool of URM applicants.[/quote]

Yes, the drop in rankings was based on 2022 data before they fixed the broken selection criteria used by the old process. [/quote]
Yeah that was the year of the freshman of the new selection process who were 25% FARMs (URM according to USNews) and represented a sizable increase in the URM population at TJ. They also scored significantly worse on SOLs as compared to previous years URM, albeit a very small number of students. This is not really up for debate.

And even more, the non-URM students of the new class scored worse than previous years,

Interestingly enough, average FCPS schools scored on average better than the previous year (2020-2021) result. [/quote]
