[quote=Anonymous]00.01 Your post just emphasizes the difference in competitiveness. You see these numbers for your schools and think "There is a boundary issue and our numbers are too low." And probably lots of other parents from the Carson/Longfellow/Kilmer side of the county would say the same thing. Over on the LB/RSS/WAYS side of the county (and South County, Hayfield, etc) we thing "Dang, that is a lot of kids over there wanting to get into TJ!" And if you combined all 3 middle schools from this pyramid, you only get a few more kids (roughly 175 to 150s) applying to TJ compared to just one of your schools. If you add Hayfield and South County to LB/RSS/WSHS you still would not have as many kids applying for TJ as are applying from Rachel Carson. The hard numbers show that there is just not the same interest in TJ out this way as there is in the TJ madness zone. [/quote]
