Wow? 22 is higher than normal for McLean.
When FCPS started sending AAP kids from the Langley pyramid back to Cooper MS, a lot of academically focused families moved into the McLean pyramid so their kids could attend Longfellow MS, which historically was one of the top feeders to TJHSST. But, of course, not all those kids get into TJ. For the past two years, McLean has had more NMSFs than Langley, a wealthier school.
I have no dog in this fight, but I believe McLean has like 600 more students that Langley
It doesn't have "like 600 more students." It has roughly 20% more seniors and 60% more NMSFs this year.

Can someone explain why District of Columbia is set at the highest state mark each year?
Probably because of all the wealthy private/independent school kids studying for the test. Plus, BASIS and Banneker. It's a barbell distribution in DC.

About 175 from TJ?
132 from TJ.
The number of semifinalists increased significantly and the number of TJ semifinalists decreased, with a larger graduating class.
