Maybe take a break? Im not PP. They're point about 130 using offers is an inaccurate framing of the issue. Many kids don't start at TJ for a number of reasons. As are people who are piling on your response of that uses offer-based numbers as a starting point. There was a large spike of kids who couldn't continue after starting at TJ compared to previous years. The rate more than doubled. As you said, the data is all there. I also don't think that fact alone is some big reveal. It's part of a larger trend of metrics that show how the new admission process is producing less desirable academic metrics. |
Sounds like the new DEI bus is stuck in Remedial Math lane. |
Who are you and why do you care? |
False Before the change, there was an average of 3.2% drop out and, after the change, it's 4.1%. Of course, the data will be more meaningful after a few more years, but overall, it's not that far off from previous years. When you take the % of declines it's right on par. And did the PP ever say where he got the 130? The only class with 441 that I saw was 2024 last year (not 2025). Maybe he read the data incorrectly. I'll add more data and charts tonight. |
Who cares when you put false data on your charts or when you bend over backward to shield the fact that the educrats are dumping down on TJ's quality. |
I'm sorry that it's inconvenient to your political narrative, but it's not false data. Feel free to check my numbers. |
DP. The person who is quoting 441 and therefore 130 dropouts is reading the data incorrectly. This is the page the person is probably referencing: https://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:13::::0_CURRENT_SCHOOL_ID,P0_EDSL:300,0 The number 441 corresponds to the number of juniors that were present in TJ... in the 22-23 school year. Meaning, as you indicated, they were referring to the Class of 2024 which was selected under the old admissions process and originally admitted 486 students. So, a net loss of 45 students. As of that same data point, there were 520 students in the Class of 2025, which would be a net loss of 30 students. |
I’m sorry, but the net loss for 2025 is 38 currently. The net loss for the previous three years is 14,10, and 9. The rate of kids leaving after starting has more than doubled. Those are based on FCPS page. I dont think it’s a big deal but those are the facts. |
This is fake news. It's the same as ever. |
ALEKS math Towing service has been called, should be back on the road soon. |
If I understand you: the class of 2025: 38 dropped out so far 2024: 14 dropped out 2023: 10 dropped out 2022: 9 dropped out. Correct? |
In the nineties, as I drove past this school on Braddock Rd, I'd often tell my kids that with hard work, they might have a chance to attend. How unfortunate to see what a mess this once respected institution has become! |
It's unfortunate that TJ selection was for sale to those who could afford to buy access to the test, but the good news your kids will now have a chance again with hard work now that they've fixed selection to rely on academic merit not family income. |
Blah blah blah. Just shut it down and return TJ to community use. |
NP, but I don't think so. Let's do it this way, starting with this year's seniors and using the FCPS "membership history" tab here, going back four years: https://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:42::::0_CURRENT_SCHOOL_ID,P0_EDSL:300,0 Class of 2024: 1 left in Freshman year, 5 left sophomore year, none left since = 6 total Class of 2025: 12 left Freshman year, 12 left sophomore year, 1 left this year = 25 total to date Class of 2026: 7 left Freshman year, 4 left sophomore year = 11 total to date Class of 2027: 4 left this year |
