[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child at poorly performing MS which, prior to the admission policy change, typically did not have any students admitted to TJ. DC is truly a brilliant and hardworking kid - the top student in honors geometry (near perfect average), acing the rest of their all honors courses, all advanced pass or perfect SOL scores, etc. DC is white and we do not qualify for free/reduced priced meals.

I'm curious to know what the admittance pool looks like at a school like ours?  Do we have a shot or are the spots typically offered to high performing students with one or more "experience factors"?

I hope to keep the conversation civil and am genuinely asking out of curiosity. TIA![/quote]

One from ours was such an outlier. Real genius even. Don't think they would've stood a chance with the old system though since their family is low-income and wouldn't even consider prep classes that were required to be competitive then.[/quote]

Prep was never necessary.  My two kids and many others did no prep.  Stop with those lies.

OP, your kid should do well coming from a low performing school.  It’s the kids like yours at high performing schools that are getting rejected.[/quote]
