There was also a significant increase (from 8 to 23) in the number of Hispanic students admitted, but not Black students.

Honestly, I don't understand why race has to factor in where academics and merits are the criteria for admission!!

Because diversity adds to the educational experience.

Because the black and white vehemently refuse to pay their tax supporting the Asian kids @ a public magnet school TJ

Interesting that number of Carson admits actually went down last year - significant increase in Longfellow admits.

DD's BFF is in Carson this year and only knows one kid who didn't get in, so looks like Carson will be up higher this year.
Her mom said that at preview night there were not that many from Loudon this year and only one kid from Fairfax City
Will need to wait to see numbers - not that it really matters....

Longfellow and Rocky Run #s will come down over time w/opening of Cooper AAP and Lanier AAP. The Carson AAP center needs to be broken up as well.

How so?

I can understand the equity argument but how does it help the high school educational experience to have racial diversity?

Different backgrounds means different points of view in class discussions. Having to work with kids from different backgrounds on group projects (and there are a lot at TJ). You know, like in the real world.

Nysmith the the only private that ever has enough kids to get them over tsthreshhold— too small a number of students to report for privacy reasons. Some years they are over, some years they are not.

Nysmith has a large number of Asian students and they target TJ.

Now that we have Basis in McLean with a lot of Chinese kids, you will see them making a beeline to TJ as well...although I know a couple of parents that went the other way, pulled kids out of TJ to go to Basis.

Nysmith is literally across the street from Carson.
Obviously there is something in the water in Herndon.

If you mean that Asians like to segregate themselves and focus on academics together, yes.

It always bugs me to see close to 50% of applicants are women, but then have 40% of admittees be women. They did better there this year too. AA and FARMs are the places admission was not more representative.

So much for encouraging girls into STEM.
