Eight Top 300 finalists this year as opposed to seven last year. But I thought that the new admissions process was leaving top talent behind?

No other FCPS school produced a top 300 finalist this year...[/quote] TJ will soon be back at #1.[/quote]
No. There were more SOL failures in 2022-23 than the year prior, so the next ranking may well be lower.[/quote]

Jeez, now we're maligning the class of 2025?[/quote]

I mean the class of 2026.

Honestly I think the student body is improving.  I don't know if they are easing off the "experience factors" or if students are self selecting themselves into the applicant pool better this year.[/quote]
Improving? SOLs are worse, Ranking fell from 1st to 14th[/quote]

False. TJ was #5 before moving to #14. 
[/quote]
Of course, #1 to #5, and now #14, the downward trend is clear.  This year is expected to be even worse, which is why FCPS is taking proactive steps by announcing admin level changes.[/quote]

#5 was using data from before the admissions change.

No trend.

People are also fond of forgetting that TJ’s USNWR ranking was frequently in the teens under Dr. Glazer and returned to #1 for several consecutive years under Dr. Bonitatibus.

But that’s inconvenient to the narrative so 💤[/quote]

Not exactly but she did bring the rankings up to 1 for a couple of years.

Glazer took over as principal in 2007 and witnessed the lowest rating in the school’s history. #20 in I believe 2012 or 13.[/quote]

That was after the last time they tried to achieve "diversity" at TJ.[/quote]
Yes. In TJ’s history, there have been three attempts to implement race-based admissions. Each time, rankings dropped, and students resisted being used as test subjects for political agendas. Why should students with the lowest math readiness spend five to six hours after school struggling, only to end up with Cs and Ds? Enduring four years of hardship just to fulfill a diversity quota is unsustainable.

Literal nonsense. Every word of this is fabricated.[/quote]
