[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As a result of this, TJ rejected over one-quarter of the applicants with scores in the top five percent on the AMC 8, a highly competitive national math exam,.[/quote] Sorry, but this isn't that special. Fairfax County has 4th and 5th graders who make it on the top 5% honor roll on AMC 8. Doing so as a 7th or 8th grader is a rather pedestrian achievement suggesting that the kid doesn't need anything beyond the local high school. Most of the FCPS kids who make the top 5% honor roll do so because they're privileged kids who attend a strong middle school with a strong math coaching program. [/quote] Bull. [/quote] Just no. Longfellow has 56 kids listed on the honor roll + distinguished honor roll last year. Most of them are bright, privileged kids and not super geniuses. It's not a great travesty if 1/4 of them don't qualify for TJ. [/quote]
