[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Bull crap. ORMs (Asian students) s[/b]till make up the majority of the classes.

[i]“Economically disadvantaged students comprise 11.64% of the class of 2027.
2.91% of students are English Language Learners.
Female students represent 43.4%.
Asian students represent 61.64%.
White students represent 19.09%.
Black students represent 6.73%.
Hispanic students represent 6.00%.
95.27% of students receiving offers come from public schools.”[/i]

Not bull crap.  TJ has been destroyed by equity and DEI stuff.  And the ASian American community has been the hardest hit.  (no I am not one of them - I just know national education news). [/quote]

Turn off Newsmax. [/quote]
