I'm interested to see their plan for increasing the numbers of hispanic students, who seem to really be the biggest losers in the magnet process given their relatively high demographic percentage in the county.

MCPS switching to universal testing barely moved the needle on hispanic participation at magnets.

""People don't realize that merit testing (SAT, etc.) helped increase diversity (economic, gender, racial) at universities in this country. Everyone talks about how moving away from testing will help diversity when really it is the opposite."

Exactly. But it is impossible to reason with emotional thinkers.

I read this and it seems 1/2 baked. Why did they only include information about 8th graders in FCPS? The applicant pool includes 8th graders from LCPS, PWCPS, FCCPS, and APS. Too much work to ask these counties for this basic information?

According to some posters the applicant pool also includes middle schoolers from India as well

They likely mistake Indian Americans for Indians. We have had morons innocently ask how the "Asian" Debate and Model UN TJ kids beat the (supposedly all-white) Langley or McLean teams!

Nope, they literally mean that kids are sent from India to this area to stay with relatives in 7th in order to be in position to apply to TJ.

Racist lies. This does not happen.

You know every kid admitted to TJ personally?

In this area, I absolutely believe it to be true. How is that racist?

Correct, it does happen. Its not racist to admit it.

When will TJ admission process be finalized and start accepting applications for 2025 class?

Because the goal was never to help URM.

Because one of their goals is to reduce the number of Asian Americans at the school, which this does.

The beneficiaries will mostly be white kids who get to attend a slightly above average high school rather than Annandale, Lewis or Justice.

DP. Since when did McLean have "all-white" anything? It is only slightly over 50% white.

McLean won the state Scholastic Bowl championship last year with a team that had several Asian members, but their team was in a different VHSL Group (Group 6) than TJ (Group 5).
