[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of readers of this thread are slow on the uptake. Yes, TJ has a bottom 25% of its class. But I was talking about the bottom 25% of the SAT at UVA, and I suspect that not many TJ students score that low on the SAT considering that the average of the school is over 1500. This is not that difficult to comprehend, folks.[/quote]

I agree.  TJ isn't going to report class rank.  Yes, a school can figure out from what the school reports approximately where the student falls, but the college where the student enrolls won't have to report any class rank for that student.  So the average graduate will have high SAT/ACT scores, because they were admitted to TJ.   With an average (taken by combining Math and Critical reading) of 1503 on the SAT, TJ grads will have an average score that is slightly beyond the 75th percentile of enrolled students of UVA and W&M.  The average is 180 points or so above the 25th percentile scores.  I'm not going to break out actual statistical analysis, but if you did the likelihood that a TJ grad would score at the 25th percentile on the SAT/ACT, I think it would be quite low.  [/quote]
