[quote=Anonymous]As 22:30 pointed out, this is really an admissions issue. And it is a touchy subject for a school that is 64%Asian (and another 4% or so mixed Asian) and last year admitted just 7 black students, but enrolled just 6. The number of girls admitted continues to fall every year. In some ways it calls into question the entire enterprise at TJ. Cal Tech and MIT don't just admit the students with the highest grades and scores, otherwise, they wouldn't need admissions committees, but just a formula. In any event, I'm not sure that what TJ has become is really what the County set out to do by creating it, namely to improve science, math, and tech education in the county. It does improve it for 400 or so students a year.[/quote]
