[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Class of 2023 at TJ was admitted under the old admission system. FYI. [/quote]

Thank goodness they've adjusted the system. I hope it pays off for everyone, and it very well might given the recent focus by college AOs, though I tend not to fully support such tracked education with tax dollars.[/quote]
The students admitted under the old process looked good on paper mainly because of expensive prep and test buying but can't measure up with those admitted under the new process because of skill and aptitude. This is just being reflected in the college admission results.

More garbage. TJ kids are scientists, governors, tech billionaires, etc. The results have been spectacular. To listen to you, TJ kids scored well on SATs but failed in real life - but nothing could be further from the truth. The old TJ admissions policies did a fabulous job picking future superstars.

Stop trying to fix what isn't broken.[/quote]

It was a school that was supposed to serve a whole region and ended up drawing the vast majority of students from a handful of middle schools. It was broken [/quote]

And that was only because families at those schools spent tens of thousands on expensive prep that granted access to the test questions.[/quote]
