here is what the school says:

"The mission of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is to provide students with a challenging learning environment focused on math, science, and technology, to inspire joy at the prospect of discovery, and to foster a culture of innovation based on ethical behavior and the shared interests of humanity."

I don't see anything about selectivity [/quote]

Now read the VDOE page on Governor's Schools.
https://www.doe.virginia.gov/instruction/governors_school_programs/

"The Virginia Governor's School Program has been designed to assist divisions as they [b]meet the needs of a small population of students whose learning levels are remarkably different from their age-level peers[/b]. The foundation of the Virginia Governor's School Program centers on best practices in the field of [b]gifted education[/b] and the presentation of advanced content to able learners."

It would really help our case if you could quote the section that talks about test-taking ability and achievement in STEM competitions - can you highlight those for us?[/quote]

Here you go dick wad:

The Academic-Year Governor's Schools are established as "joint schools" by Virginia school law. As such, they are typically managed by a regional governing board of representatives from the school boards of each participating division. The regional governing board is charged with developing policies for the school including the school's admissions process. While these processes differ from school to school, all applicants are assessed using multiple criteria by trained evaluators who have experience in gifted education and the focus area of the specific Academic-Year Governor's School. Students can only attend an Academic-Year Governor's School program if their school division is a participating public school division and the students are selected by the Academic-Year Governor's School program through a competitive admission process. Transferring or students in military families should inquire with school division school counselors as to the availability of Academic-Year Governor's School programs in that school division and the application timeline.

The Virginia Department of Education oversees and evaluates the Academic-Year Governor's Schools. Each school is evaluated through the use of evaluation rubrics designed to determine the effectiveness in curriculum, professional development, program design, guidance and counseling, identification and selection process, and facilities. A full-site evaluation team visits each school every six year

But now you SJWs don't like the criteria used by the trained evaluators or the competitive process because you don't like the demographics of the highest rated students evaluated.  So what is your idea for meeting the requirement of a "competitive admissions process?"  Ignore excellent test scores and STEM achievements?  So typical for an SJW these days.   [/quote]
