[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where in the world are you getting that it is easier to get into TJ from Robinson now?[/quote]

Every MS is guaranteed seats at TJ now. The top 1.5% of the 8th grade class will be offered a seat at TJ if they meet the minimum requirements (3.5 GPA, Algebra Honors in 8th grade, Honors Science and Math in 7th and 8th grade, and at least one other honors class) and the student applies. This means that the top 9 or so students who apply will be accepted at TJ.

I am not sure how many MS feed into Robinson but if it is 4, guessing here, you could be sending the 36 kids who are STEM focused to TJ and not Robinson, which would be a full class of potential AP Science and Math kids to TJ.

I have no clue what the TJ feeding pattern for Robinson looked like before the admissions changes at TJ but I know that many of the MS in FCPS went from 0 or 1 kid to 6-9 kids.[/quote]

1 middle school feeds into Robinson. It’s Robinson Secondary School, grades 7-12.

Like I said, I didn’t know so I appreciate the posts pointing out that kids leaving for TJ isn’t that big of a deal. So maybe the top 9 students from the MS are not going to Robinson. [/quote]
