[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are todays TJ students (I’m assuming you’re referring to the classes 2025, 2026, 2027) far more impressive stats?  The PSAT numbers are dropping. 2026 has their psat scores too and they are definitely not impressive. Please do share what these “impressive stats” you’re referring to actually are [/quote]
Don’t bother. This poster has been making these weird “better than ever” posts for over a year without ever quantifying it. However, data continues to show the opposite, as expected.[/quote]

Just the opposite. Some poster keeps making these worse-than-ever posts without qualifying them. Their point was a previous poster in this thread had pointed out that stats from a few years ago are low by today's standards which was on point.[/quote]
I mean the SOL scores/pass advanced rates dropped by a pretty good bit. 
The number of students enrolled in Algebra II in 9th dropped dramatically. 
And if those PSAT score info is legit (I don't know where PP got that info), then the PSAT scores dropped dramatically.

If you mean qualified like mentioning COVID as a reason for poor scores, then why did FCPS drop only 4 points in SAT scores from last year and TJ drop 89 points in the PSAT?

Having worse scores than previous students is just data that reflects a different approach to selecting students. These new students are obviously very smart too, but they are not as accelerated and are not performing the same in these standardized tests as previous students and it's OK to acknowledge that. [/quote]

I don't know where you get these made up stats from but TJ's scores have gone up up and up since they changed admission process. PSAT are higher than ever.[/quote]

I'm also tired of these fake claims too. The other thing people don't often bring up is that the changes made it a healthier and less toxic place. [/quote]
