[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there stats listed anywhere or how many offers go out and how many of those are accepted? Or do stats just say 10 from this school, 40 from another school? Or is it made public that a school had an initial 10 offers, but 2 kids didn’t accept so another 2 offered spots?[/quote]

The initial offers extended numbers that come out in news release is drastically from the actual final accepted offers.

For the above 2026 class release, 
Cooper Middle School  had 16 initial offers, 55 waitlisted, 92 applicants
Sandburg Middle School had 12 intial offers, 17 waitlisted, 54 applicants

Cooper has 8th grade SOL math pass rate of 94%, and English pass rate of 85%
Sandburg has 8th grade SOL math pass rate of 47%, and English pass rate of 65%

Given the stark difference in SOL scores and the significantly different number of applicants, it's unclear how TJ admissions determined to offer nearly the similar number of spots to each school. However, students responded to the offers quite differently.

After the initial offers were declined and resent to others on waiting list, apparently Cooper sent well over 25+ students and Sandburg fewer than 5 at the start of the class.
