[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop spreading rumors about a lottery.

Admission is based on a few things, 2.5 quantitative, 1.5 qualitative.

Quant:
Middle school grades.
SOL and VGA-type assessments.
.5 = the Q&A portion of the entrance exam.

Qualitative:
Free text recommendations from current Math and Science teachers.
.5 = the essay your kid wrote.

Top 20% of the # of kids across the county get first choice. So about 25 per AET and AOS. The n a percentage of each middle school gets admitted qualified applicants. Brambleton, you’re SOL as 60% of the 8th grade applies. Smarts Mill? 5% apply, 3% get in.

For example, an admitted AET student this cycle: Nothing lower than an A all of middle school, 600 Algebra SOL, 570 English SOL.

Waitlist is the next 5-ish percent per middle school. It’s not a Loudoun-wide process. This was the change two years ago so it would be a more equitable process across the county rather than 50% of kids coming from Brambleton.[/quote]

Brambleton had barely opened by then.  Lots of seats went to Stone Hill and surprisingly Willard.[/quote]
