[quote=Anonymous]FCPS has been releasing less information about the level of math of incoming students over time, not sure how FCAG got the numbers for classes of 2020 and 2021, maybe FOIA?

But yeah, there were less-and-less kids admitted with only Algebra 1 in 8th with that downward trend as far back as 2005 at least (when class of 2009 was applying) along with a significant increase in the proportion of kids who are post-Geometry in 8th. I'm not sure how much of this is due to changes in FCPS policies/instruction that enabled kids to reach higher math sooner vs. a shift in culture of parents enabling their kids moving forward in math faster through outside enrichment or summer studies (not taking a position on whether the latter is a good or bad thing, but seems FCPS is attempting to discourage so much emphasis on such practices by not tying that advancement so closely to TJ admission chances).
