[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see it as a TJ fail. The other schools in fcps didn't see their number decreased, only Tj and by half. [/quote]

But the schools in stronger areas *should* have had a much larger number of kids capable of making NMSF, since the switch in TJ admissions w/ its geographic quotas. If the base school numbers didn't go up by a lot, it does suggest a county-wide problem. [/quote]

Maybe? but there is also a chance that those kids who might have been accepted with the old system and are now at base school would have performed better on PSAT had they had the opportunity to attend TJ.  [/quote]

So the total number of NMSF went down in Virginia compared to other states? That would make sense.[/quote]

No, the number of NMSF stay the same in VA. Each state is allotted a certain number and that didn't change. It just means that now TJ no longer has 150+ top scorers in the state but only 80. Some other students from other schools throughout VA score better than TJ students. So in terms of NMSF, TJ class of 2025 is weaker than all the previous TJ classes.[/quote]

I assume if FCPS as a whole went down then other counties in Virginia went up.

Honestly given the articles from a few years ago about people fleeing the close-in suburbs to go to more rural counties because they could work from home, this might make sense. It also does seem like other systems in VA are beefing up their educational quality. Friends who moved to the Newport News area indicate more rigor than here.[/quote]
