Those talented students who deferred TH stayed at their base schools or went to private. A student we know is attending an Ivy this fall. He was accepted at TJ but went private instead. TJ had become so monolithic and competitive it was driving students away.
A more balanced population that represents all the students in the area will hopeful bring more talented students back.
Isn't private school the ultimate in "gaming" the system?

What is your point?
The point is that FCPS is doing its best to destroy academic excellence at TJ and other schools in the name of equity.

That allegation has been proven wrong and the same could be said for all the Top Colleges because they have similar policies. Academic excellence is not owned by TJ, it can be achieved anywhere and many different ways. The real issue is in your head.
Destroying not just TJ. Other schools too. McLean and Langley’s matriculations are below expectations too. Can’t put all the blame on FCPS though. Some college AOs favor poorer school districts. They punish students from “wealthy” zip codes.

The worst in history. But believe me, it will get even worse in the future.

I haven't followed the trends for years but this looks pretty darn strong to me. Check out your local high school

Only 1 to Stanford? Must be the lowest they're sending to S in decades. Particularly impressed with the kids going to Harvard, Princeton, and Duke this year. Carnegie Mellon is also getting some great CS kids.

Stanford, MIT & Yale are much lower than previous years. Also interesting is that no one is going to Northwestern this year.

Those aren't admissions decisions. That's who is actually going to go there. You can assume 2-4 times as many were accepted.
Yep. ENROLLMENT decisions. We all know what was meant.
