Fair enough.  "Decimate" probably would have been more accurate than "cap."  Their intent was obvious. [/quote]

For class of 2025, there were 42 fewer kids admitted from previously "well"-represented MSs than in 2024.

“Decimate”?  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

[/quote]

42 is much worse than decimate, which means reduce by 10%.[/quote]

It’s exactly 10%. And the modern definition in English means a large percentage.

Where in the heck are you pullling your data from

https://www.fcag.org/tjstatistics.shtml

The big 4  2024/2025

Carson  82 down to 42
Longfellow 57 down to 28
Rocky Run  32 down to 24 
Cooper 33 down to 20

Overall 204 to 114 a 43% Decrease

Carson and Longfellow are basically sending more highly qualified STEM kids to their base school vs TJ

Can anyone explain how a 43% drop from the best middle schools is a good thing for a school designed for the best?????[/quote]

From the FCAG data.

2025	2024	delta	% change
				
underrep school	169	27	142	526%
well/over rep	366	408	-42	-10%
private	15	51	-36	-71%

Underrepresented schools

And are you responding to the PP who is referring to the 4 big feeders? Or commingling data with schools beyond the 4 to get your desired outcome? #DATAMANIPULATION

[b]Carson[/b] 82 down to 42
[b]Longfellow[/b] 57 down to 28
[b]Rocky Run[/b] 32 down to 24
[b]Cooper[/b] 33 down to 20[/quote]

Not PP, but you're just focusing on different schools.  FCPS doesn't treat what you refer to as the "4 big feeders" as a separate category for any purposes, but does have a concept of "under-represented schools" that includes 10 of the county's middle/secondary schools and gave a boost to students applying from those schools for the Class of 2025.
