[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen a breakdown by MS of number of kids who apply to TJ, number who make it through the first round, and number admitted, but I can't remember where. Does anyone have those numbers?[/quote]

Here you go. Knock yourself out parsing the number s of applied vs. semi finalists vs accepted...

Here you go-- % of kids who applied that were admitted:

Carson  35%
RR        31%
Longfellow:  32.5%
Kilmer:      19%
Front:        21.6%
LBSS:       16.8%
Jackson:    16.2%
Twain:       13.5%

Which means Carson, RR and Longfellow are far and away better at sending their kids to TJ than the other FCPS MSs/[/quote]

Right. So now explain to me what difference it makes how many kids at TJ live in Langley and McLean?  Which I think was OP’s original reason for starting the thread. :?: [/quote]

Because Langely is THE BEST.  At all things.  Clearly.  (And  even though Rocky Run and Carson are adjacent to each other).    :lol: [/quote]

You don't need to be so whiny.  It's no wonder FCPS hasn't released this data before.  Some people take it as such a personal affront, when it's just some interesting numbers.

Anyway, Carson isn't "adjacent" to Rocky Run, as Franklin is closer to both schools than they are to each other.  The distance between Carson and Rocky Run is actually the same as that between Kilmer and Longfellow (slightly over four miles). [/quote]
