[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious about what percentage of kids in each middle school went to TJ this year but wasn't able to find itanywhere. It is now quota-based, right?  Thanks.[/quote]

The class has not yet been selected or seated. It is expected that first offers of admission will go out on one of the next three Fridays.

While spaces are reserved for the top 1.5% of students at each middle school, it is not expected that all of those seats will actually be occupied with interested students. [/quote]

How it works is offers go out to the highest ranked 1.5% student per middle school that APPLIED to go to TJ.  If one of the kids that applied and got in (ranked in that top 1.5%) decides he doesn't want to go after all, the seat is then offered to the next highest ranked applicant AT THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL until they have the 1.5% seats allocated to that school filled, or run out of applicants from that school.[/quote]

I found this a bit ironic. Students who are eager to go and are highly qualified are being suppressed, but others who might struggle in TJ or not so interested are pushed in. Test is already eliminated, which should solve the exam prep concerns. Quota is not the solution. [/quote]

It is safe to assume that students who are not so interested will either not apply or not attend if selected. Spare your concern for them.

Several schools will still send no kids, which is fine if no one is interested. That's a whole different problem that needs to be addressed in ways above and beyond the admissions process.[/quote]
