Yes, the VA selection index went up by 3 pts. It was oddly low last year.
What's VA index this year?

IMO, 81 is still pretty good and surprisingly high given how noisy the admissions process is now.

But the schools in stronger areas *should* have had a much larger number of kids capable of making NMSF, since the switch in TJ admissions w/ its geographic quotas. If the base school numbers didn't go up by a lot, it does suggest a county-wide problem.
Maybe? but there is also a chance that those kids who might have been accepted with the old system and are now at base school would have performed better on PSAT had they had the opportunity to attend TJ.

That's odd since TJ is doing orders of magnitude better than these other schools. You seem confused.
Of course it's doing better because there is still a remnant of merit left. You just seem determined to find excuse for the failure.

The base school numbers went up slightly but the TJ numbers plummeted = big net decline for FCPS.
We told you this was coming. This school board and its predecessor have made a hash of everything.

Nah, the pandemic took a toll but things will eventually return to normal.

But if you look at the private school list, those don't seem to be particularly amazing either.
It has historically only been TJ that really stuck out.

The number of TJ NMSF was apparently down by over half from last year (from 165 to 81), and the number of NMSFs from other schools only went up by 16 (from 99 to 115). Good luck to Reid trying to spin this as a success story.
I only see 3 for South Lakes.
