[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know?

A family friend (who is the parent of a TJ graduate) told me many of the students admitted under the revised standards subsequently dropped out of TJ and returned to their base HS.  She quoted a number.

Anyone know for certain?[/quote]

That's odd my TJ kid claims the rate is way down this year. [/quote]

My kid says the number is significantly higher this year.[/quote]

There is official data up higher in the thread. The number is higher than it has been at this time in previous years, but the class is also significantly larger (about 22%) and was selected much later in the calendar year than usual (late June as opposed to late March), leaving less time and information for families to make decisions prior to the start of the school year.

It's also worth noting that not one of the students who has exited during the year is Black, even though that seems to be the group that catches the most overt racism on these fora.[/quote]
