[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ's new national ranking is #4. Last year it was ranked#2. I am predicting it will fall to #10 in two years because the admission process is broken. Majority of kids accepted by this school this year and in the last two years have scored between 40-42 in math portion of the TJ entrance test. The school is accepting kids with mediocre skills in math and has been rejecting majority of kids who have scored above 48. TJ as a school scored poorly in math section of the national evaluation. The school's administration is lousy and is being headed by someone who is inflexible, passive and uncaring. The school has no mechanism to support kids who are not doing well. If you are rich and can hire tutors, your kids will do fine in this school. Most kids don not want to enroll in Calculus BC and yet this school considers itself a science and technology school.

As a parent of a TJ kid, I'm glad that TJ lost its #1 ranking...this reduces the pressure on the kids to live up to the hype.  At the end of the day, it's just another HS that all the kids there are interested in STEM.

But are they actually really interested in STEM or are many/most of them kids who are hardworking and who have been trained to fulfill the admission criteria?[/quote]

Criminy... who knows???  They're just kids after all. :roll: [/quote]
