[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is more difficult because there are more kids who are interested and applying from those schools.

There are more kids applying because school is emphasized by the parents for a variety of reasons. There are more kids in honors/AAP because the parents are more involved for a variety of reasons.

There are more kids from the feeder schools even with the new distribution method for that reason.

You are bemoaning giving up a spot to kids who traditionally have not had that same opportunity. I get it, we all want the best for our kids but your child still has a greater chance of being accepted then kids from a non traditional feeder school.[/quote]

Exactly.

It’s not surprising that the number of applicants increased last year when a new process was unveiled for a selective school.  The number of applications declined this year and may continue to decline in the future as TJ’s brand becomes harder to define or understand.

It's on its way to being a school for its local community, as frankly it should be. [/quote]

That would have been more honest and efficient, but it wouldn't allow the School Board members the opportunity to claim TJ is still the school for the "best and the brightest" for a few more years until that obviously is no longer the case. [/quote]
