[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF is TJ underenrolled?

Change it to an Academy

This one simple change could solve so many issues, including the over crowding at McLean.  [/quote]

I thought TJ got rid of the rigid academic requirements two years ago.  That should allow black and hispanics to attend TJ, right?  Why is TJ still under enrollment?[/quote]

TJ was expanded to a design capacity of 2390 during its renovation.

When they changed the admissions process, they also agreed to expand the TJ entering classes to about 540 students (up from around 475).  They are two years into that change, so TJ's enrollment can be expected to go up by another 130 students or so two years from now.

That would leave TJ below capacity compared to its design capacity, though less so than is the case now.  It's been argued TJ would be overcrowded if it actually had more than 2250 students or so, because of the space requirements for some of TJ's labs, etc.

Why would TJ require more space requirements now that it has dumped down the academic requirements?  [/quote]
