I can’t believe so many of these kids want to attend the WORST Ivy.

Those poor Asian students must have figured out how to cheat their ways into Stuyvesant too. Only poor Asians can afford test prep in NYC, poor Whites, Hispanics, and Blacks must be poorer and unable to afford test prep. It definitely couldn’t be because Asian families put a greater emphasis on education….oh and have higher IQs.

The FARM percentage at TJ see significant drop off.

At TJ, political agenda has made racial balancing a priority over FARMS. If race based essay selection was removed, TJ would have had more FARMS but then Asian American percent would have gone up too.

Lies. The essay isn’t “race based”. It’s a race blind process.

No, before the admissions change, there were FEWER students coming from economically-disadvantaged families: less than 1% of the admitted students for class of 2024.

FCPS can't impose TJ offers on economically disadvantaged families, especially when 99% of them don't even apply.

At Stuyvesant, over 70% of applicants are economically disadvantaged families.

Where there is no interest, public school system can force participation.

Higher SES families send their kids to private school in NYC, so the pool of kids applying for the select schools tends to be more Middle to lower SES, this impacts the class make up of Stuy. It is also a larger pool of candidates filling a similar size school, to include more first generation immigrants whose kids have been in school since K. The demographics are very different then they are in FCPS. It really is that simple. There are more poor kids who are smart and have parents focused on school then there are in FCPS.

Stuyvesant acceptance rate is around 2.7%. "This translates to roughly 800-850 students being admitted out of approximately 30,000 applicants each year. Admission is based solely on the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) score. ", and yet 48% admitted are economically disadvantaged.

Where are those poor students finding money to enroll in Curie like enrichment centers that prep for the merit test?
