[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Franklin has around 40 kids applying each year with "TS" or less than 10 getting in. Would the 1.5% spots for the qualified kids at Franklin be out of the 40? [/quote]

Franklin has about 400 8th graders so 1.5% of 400 is 6.  So they will take a minimum of 6 kids from franklin.  [/quote]

Assuming they have 6 qualified students. [/quote]
Please get over yourself. Franklin has a very high-achieving population. Not getting tracked to RCMS based on a flawed, subjective, and parent-driven second-grade selection process doesn’t have anything to do with the capability of Franklin. Many of those FMS kids go on to run circles around the RCMS AAP kids at Oakton High School. [/quote]
Further, as PP said, Franklin has quite a large population of kids qualified for the ~6 seats.  They just aren't as interested in TJ. In part because of people that post things like this.  After attending the AAP presentation at our ES (Oakton pyramid), I seriously questioned wanting my children around AAP parents.  The questions posed to the AART were rude, demanding, self-important, and entitled.  One parent actually sarcastically asked the teacher - in front of dozens of parents - what made her qualified to teach advanced academics.  [/quote]
