[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not PP, but FCPS could have slots for each middle school, which at a minimum would create greater geographic diversity.  A very large percentage of TJ kids now come from four pyramids: McLean, Oakton, Langley, and Chantilly.[/quote]

So, you are suggesting geography rather than academic merit?  You might as well close TJ or make it gened.[/quote]

I think the idea of allocating seats per middle school or region would maintain support for TJ, but if your idea of academic merit is narrow enough to suggest it's primarily limited to the AAP programs at Carson, Longfellow, Rocky Run and Cooper,  it might just be better to close TJ instead, following the precepts of One Fairfax.

Excuse me but why mention Cooper?  That had 8-same number as Sandburg and Hughes had 7.  Twain had 12.  Why not complain about Sandburg, Hughes, and Twain?  The "evil" Langley pyramid goes to Cooper not Longfellow.   Included in that are Churchill and Spring Hill.  The big mystery is why FCPS caps TJ and doesn't use full design and program capacity - maybe people like Smith and Platenburg need to tell TJHSST that they expect that building to operate at 100-105% utilization instead of 82 to a 83% [projected 2023].  Talk about a disconnect.[/quote]

36 kids got into TJ from Cooper this year. You must be citing statistics from a prior year when most of the Cooper AAP kids were still at Kilmer and Longfellow.
