[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 1.5% is for calculating the number of spots allotted to each middle school.  Each school gets spots amounting to  1.5% of the eighth grade class.[/quote]

No. It is the top 1.5% are guaranteed seats if they apply. And Students have to have a 3.5 GPA and taken Algebra Honors. I get that there are people on this board who think that is amazingly easy but there are plenty of kids who will not meet one or both of those requirements. The schools that send the fewest students probably have a much larger number of kids who will not have taken Algebra or have a 3.5 GPA.

Heck, I know kids at Carson that will not take Algebra until 9th grade.

Step out of your little bubble and realize that the vast majority of people are not interested in TJ and that the kids that you are so afraid of taking a spot at TJ are not going to be handed it simply because they are attending a school with very few kids at TJ. [/quote]

Will they look at school attended in 7th grade?  Can this be gotten thru FOIA?  I am curious to how much people are gaming the system.

The way it is going, it's possible that in a couple years students may have to be awarded some goodies in order to attract them to go to TJ, just like people now have to be lured to vaccinate with lottery money.

I know families that opted not to apply to TJ based on the admission changes.  They felt the school was watered down.[/quote]

Really? If so, good thing they are not wasting a slot. The opposite is true for me - everyone who would have applied in past system is applying again - you go to TJ for the classes/opportunities/STEM-minded cohort and if you really believe that there will not be sufficient qualified, motivated kids - you think a little too highly of yourself. Also, are those families going private? Any base HS is going to have a portion of non- high performing kids, right?[/quote]
