[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother used to teach at a similar school in the Midwest, which takes students from all over the state — some of the rural kids had far less math and/or resources than the city or wealthy kids and thus less “qualified” by DCUM standards; however, they excelled once in that rigorous environment.  One year (this was 30 years ago), 11 kids got into MIT.  Many more got into Cal Tech, Harvard, and the like. [b] I applaud FCPS for making TK more accessible to the county. [/b] FWIW, I read that while they did away with standardized tests for admissions, they raised the GPA and other standards.[/quote]

But they didn't.  My kids (white) can't get in.  They made it accessible only to URMs.  And that meant fewer seats for superlative asian american students (which my kids are not, but that is the truth).  and now the reputation of the school has cratered.  GOOD JOB FUHS![/quote]

Admissions for white students actually increased.  Why do you think the reputation has catered?  Students continue to be on top of the pyramid. [/quote]
