Judges’ Rules, Top U.S. High Schools Discriminating Asian-American Applicants
Focusing on STEM in Fairfax County, Virginia, TJHSST is currently ranked # 1 and # 5 among STEM high schools in the country by the US News & World Report. According to WTOP, accusations arose after the percentage of newly enrolled freshman classes that identified Asians dropped significantly from 73% to 54% in 2020, when admission policies were revised. Many worried parents and students, represented by the Pacific Legal Defense Foundation, felt the new admission policy was anti-Asian and filed a proceeding against TJHSST in early January for discrimination.
