[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet, what fcps politicians are aiming for and what fcps black students want are at odds. Fcps black students are genuinely and passionately interested in sports but fcps politicians want them to join TJ with lowest math and survive alongside peers who are already two years ahead?

Not true, my point is - black still very minority, yet people like you think they rob the Asian seat bigly.
You don’t believe if poor non asian kid is exist.[/quote]
Exactly, and then there's the FACT that the largest beneficiary of the selection change were LOW-INCOME (poor) Asians.[/quote]

There are fewer Asian kid than before.  There are more of every other race than before.  The largest increase is among white kids.  It stands to reason that if you make the process more random then more seats will go to the majority population. [/quote]

There are more Asian students enrolled in TJ in 2024-25 than in all years in the school's history aside from two years (2019, 2020).

Asian - 2% fewer enrolled in 2024 vs. 2020 (2% MORE Asian students enrolled than 2018) 
White - 32% more 
Multi/other - 40% more 
Hispanic - 182% more 
Black - 269% more

More importantly, all middle schools are now represented and the % of kids from economically-disadvantaged families has gone from <1% to 16% with the most recent admitted class.

If racial, economic and horrific diversity is your goal then the new process is a huge success.

If academic excellence of all admitted students is your goal, then the new process is a resounding failure.  PSAT score dropped by 120 points.  SAT scores probably dropped by just as much.  The average SAT score at TJ was ~1520.  That will likely drop to ~1400.  The average SAT score at McLean is ~1370.  So TJ still does better than McLean but not by much.  30 points, that's  the difference between Oakton and Woodson.  [/quote]
