[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Numbers in a Tj graduating class are more in the lower 400s, not 450. [/quote]

Wrong.  The graduating classes typically are around 450 students. [/quote]

TJ graduating class is typically around 420 to 430.[/quote]

450 is the current number of seniors for the current year. The number of graduating class in the last 6 to 7 years has been around 420 to 430 typically. That is what "typically" means. "Typical" = "normal for a person, thing, or group : average or usual."

Guess how many will be graduating NEXT year (2015) according to your link? Around 420 to 425! Given the attrition rate of about 30 to 40 each year (which usually occurs towards end of year) and considering there are about 15 replacements for rising sophomores and about 8 to 10 replacements for rising juniors each year (which is also subject to about 7-8% attrition rate), 420 to 430 is the likely number for 2016 and 2017 as well. Thanks for providing the data!  [/quote]

What is your problem?

Current TJ seniors = 455.
Seniors in June 2013= 445
Seniors in June 2012 = 446
Seniors in June 2011 = 425
Seniors in June 2010 = 441
Seniors in June 2009 = 454

Yes, the current junior class is small, but the freshmen and sophomore classes each have over 470 students.  So the other poster was clearly right in suggesting the average class size during the periods covered by the 2009-13 admissions data was closer to 450 than the low 400s, and you were clearly wrong.  Give it up and move on.  [/quote]
