I agree it won't be easy for this kid and could drop out of TJ within 1 or 2 months. Last year there were 18 kids who dropped out and actual TJ class of 2025 was 529 not 550 because 9 of them took offer but later went to base school so didn't even start at TJ. It is better to realize early than let a kid go to TJ because it sounds cool and let him struggle and then dropout. I would suggest this parent to go to the TJ info session tomorrow and have a serious discussion with teachers and current students and then decide

529 (class size) +9 (dropped out after accepting)=538. What happened to the remaining 12 spots? Did they reduce the class size?

Throughout the whole school year, 21 freshmen have dropped out.

Thanks.

I created the “number of TJ drop outs” thread earlier this year.

My thread was based on a claim from another parent: 50 kids had dropped out of TJ.

If 21 freshmen alone dropped out of TJ this school year, it appears more plausible a total of 50 students may have dropped out from all grades.

WRONG. 13 freshman dropped out during the school year. 9 never started. Out of the 550 admits, 22 are not attending.

The total from all grades is about 30. The claim of 50 had absolutely no basis in reality.

19 net students dropped out this year.

13 freshman
5 sophomores (I incorrectly listed this as 8 on an earlier post)
1 junior

https://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:42:199398713349::NO:42_SCHOOL_YEAR,P42_CLUSTER_ID,P42_DIVISION_ID,P42_SCHOOL_ID:202122,1,DIVISION,

Those are net numbers. It's possible that more kids dropped out and they were able to backfill from the waitlist during the school year.

Some kids drop out after freshman year and others Join as Sophomore. How do you identify these in the stats? Are the sophomore and Junior (only transfer so minimal) leaving/Entering the school listed somewhere?

DP. There's not really a good way to figure that out and they usually do not publish the list of entering froshmores. But there will be a significant number who drop off after this school year, just like there are every year. Since the class is about 20% larger than usual, that number might even be a little bigger than usual.

Yes. It is likely that many more kids apply to enter as froshmores this year compared to previous years. Specially from the feeder MS who did not get it in the 1st round.

While it is tough for froshmores coming in, I'm sure they'd be welcomed with open arms, especially as they will have plenty of kids from their middle school already in the class. Most of the froshmores every year are from traditional feeder schools.

Here is the numbers that you actually need. How many folks needed to be in remedial math vs prior years.

No TJ student has ever been in "remedial math". That's a misnomer and frankly, a cruel one.

Whenever they tinker with admissions for wokeness the remedial math numbers spike

They last did it in 2012

Seems like C4TJ types want to spin it differently by using alternative facts.

They seem to be doing fine this time and the place is so much less toxic too.

It's an op-ed. Not verified data.

"Remedial math" means reviewing subjects that at 2 years ahead instead of 3 years.
