[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Accept it happens multiple times every year in multiple quiz bowls, math counts, intel scholarships, [b]%NMSF [/b]etc. [/quote] Well, this one bit doesn't seem true by latest count--171/162680 for MCPs vs 254/187830 for FCPS (NMSF/Total student body--didn't have number of grads on hand). MCPS .00105 vs FCPS .00135 Vive la difference! [/quote] Those numbers are more than a bit cooked, though. TJ imports about 100 top students from Loudoun county, Arlington, Alexandria, and elsewhere. The NMSF at TJ from non-FCPS districts shouldn't be counted among the FCPS NMSF. Or, if you want to count them, then you need to add the student population from those areas as well. Most of those kids were going to be NMSF no matter where they attended high school. The fact that they could choose to leave their district and attend TJ doesn't speak to the general quality of education or students in FCPS. [/quote]
