[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The total admitted per class is more like 450 plus a handful of froshmores.  About 425 or so graduate. So over 4 years about 25 leave. Several move with their families.  Perhaps max of 20 go back to base school.  Less than 5%. [/quote]

Unless they've reduced the incoming class number very recently, each class begins with 480, not 450. Then they add maybe 10 froshmores the next year. If roughly 425 graduate, then each class loses about 65 for one reason or another.

Nope-- check TJs printed about us info. They say they aim for a class of 480. But kids do turn them down.  They usually start a year with 450 to 460. This year was dead average and I have seen 451 and 453 as the starting class size. Probably because 2 kids got out fast (or enrolled and didn't start). There is what says (we aim for 480) and what they do (start with 450-460). That happen A LOT with TJ. But pull up the numbers and check if you don't believe. They are published in the two page about TJ form every year. [/quote]

My child graduated last year and the information I saw each year about the incoming freshman class was that they were at 480 or very close to it. They accept 480 and then have 50 kids on a wait list to fill in any who decline the acceptance.

The information below is from the 2014-2015 school profile. As you can see the Class of 2018, the current juniors, had 477 students at the time the profile was published. Class of 2017 had 476, probably due to losing some students during the 9th grade year and then adding froshmores.

"Each year, approximately 480 students are offered admission to the incoming 9th grade class. The enrollment for the 2014-2015 school year is 1842.
The Class of 2018 admissions cycle offered enrollment to approximately 16.8 percent of all applicants.

Currently, our grade distribution and enrollment is as follows:

9th grade   (Class of 2018) - 477 students
10th grade (Class of 2017) - 476 students
11th grade (Class of 2016) - 465 students 
12th grade (Class of 2015) - 424 students"

The 2015-2016 profile shows the Class of 2019 with 470 students.

Interesting changes over a short time.

So this is where the class sizes stood as of last year.  I'm surprised that the school has roughly 30 fewer kids coming in as 9th graders now.  This year's profile shows only 453 in the entering class. As you can see, that's a big change from just the past few years. It will be interesting to see if they add more froshmores to this class and how many end up graduating.

Here's the link to the latest profile that shows the low numbers:
