Honors roll of TJHSST reduced from 85% to 60 %
Honors roll of Other schools increased from 15 to 40%

Distinguished honor roll for TJHSST reduced from 100% to 0%
Distinguished honor roll for Other schools increased from 0 to 100%

Maybe the kids good in Math are not good in all areas identified by the Holistic Approach.

It may be difficult to find public data for Science Olympiads etc. as they are not published like AMC scores.

Colleges are businesses and will do whatever is in their best interests. They are moving away from test scores because they have realized that standardized exams are a great way to admit great test-takers, but not a great way to admit world-changers and students who seek to have a positive impact on the total environment.

TJ has done the same thing. One of the realities of TJ over the last dozen years is that fewer and fewer students were interested in the product for a variety of reasons. The admissions process changes resulted in a huge spike in applications, especially from underrepresented groups. 20% increase overall and 70% increase among Black and Hispanic students.

Citing the exam scores of the Class of 2025 may make you feel good in some pointless way, but they're not anything that anyone should care about in the slightest when we're talking about improving the overall academic environment.

So, fewer Asian students equal improvement in overall ACADEMIC environment. I see.

No - stopping the process of overselecting for test-taking ability at the expense of looking at contributions to the entire academic environment equals improvement in the overall academic environment.

If it so happens that test-taking ability and emphasis is what was causing TJ to be overwhelmingly Asian, that is a problem of self-identity.

If your type of twisted and distorted logic is what it takes for you to live with your hateful, bigoted, racism, then, OK.

But you are only fooling your racist self. No one else agrees with your hate, bigot.

Why don’t you simply prepare your test? You can do it

I love watching TJ crash and burn with their new policy. My kid opted not to go because it makes college entry too hard but the liberal insanity has got to stop. Life is merit based, get used to it! We used to call it the American work ethic! Now it’s participation trophies for all- trust me, as a global executive the rest of the world is not dumbing down standards and tests and educations to make everyone feel included. We will lose our advantage and economy with these idiotic mindsets.

Ha

“ life is merit based” = if you are white, male and have middle class or above parents then you are assumed to have competence and given opportunities regardless of your actual ability.

This is such a lie, but I guess it makes you feel better about your own failures to repeat such nonsense.

Tell that the female US presidents..

oh wait they don’t exist. Our great meritocratic society has failed to elect a leader who represents 50% of the population.

Another interpretation is that women have failed to produce a qualified presidential candidate. Hillary? lmao

And Donald Trump was qualified?

I was responding to the unsaid ridiculous notion that say Hillary, Elizabeth Warren or Condoleezza Rice, brilliant women with strong political backgrounds on both sides of the spectrum different lacked “ qualifications “ that Donald Trump, an elected President, did.

You mean those female liars and murderers? Can’t believe you’re proud of them just because they are females. But you do you.

If you made up that idea in your own mind when the comment said nothing about Trump, I think that's probably your own personal problem.

The posts above prove your point. Liberal insanity and hate will just alienate people and lead to loss of political power. which will be unfortunate.
