30 seats and not divided evenly between schools.
Do they divide by school population (like the HB Lottery) or take the top 30?
I heard it was 35 seats now and it was divided by school population.
Each school gets seats equal to 1.5% of its 8th grade headcount. 400 8th graders gives that middle school 6 seats.
Where do you get this information? That’s the formula for FCPS but I’ve never seen it explicitly mentioned for APS
The TJ admissions regulation says 1.5% for Fairfax Count and PARTICIPATING JURISDICITONS. Arlington is a participating jurisdiction.

Not that PP, but they told us that at the APS TJ info night when my kid was in 8th grade.
Thanks! Was this before or after the admission change?
After. It was two years ago.
