[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If math grade is low, can the course be retaken in summer, like how it is allowed in regular high school?[/quote]

I doubt there are enough TJ students with low grades in math to warrant this.[/quote]
Tj says they have students with GPA as low as 3.2 weighted/ 2.7 unweighted. Doesn't it take quite a number of Cs to get that low of a GPA? [/quote]

Thought saw in other post that kids must maintain 3.0 average?[/quote]
Yes, it is. 
Regulation 3355.15

" An enrolled student must maintain a cumulative B average (unweighted 3.0 grade point
average) at the end of each school year to remain a student in good standing at
TJHSST." [/quote]
How can the supposedly no.1 stem magnet school admit students who are struggling to maintain bare minimum GPA? [/quote]
Equity took priority over excellence[/quote]
good news is middle school math classes have entered TJ in the form of remediation. not all middle schools teach math equally well, so remediation is the equalizer [/quote]

I've heard teaching is much better at the wealthier schiools.[/quote]

Actually the students are on average more advanced coming in (and the cohort of advanced students is larger) at wealtheir schools, which maps to higher test scores, etc. This should not be confused with "much better teaching" at those schools necessarily.[/quote]
