[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Paying tuition at TJHSST is a ridiculous expense. I had no idea we pay tuition to send kids to a governor’s school. [/quote] Total cost to send kids to TJHSST minus cost of educating students in APS = ? [/quote] actually this is hard to figure out- b/c if you are looking at the cost per pupil at APS- that's really not the right benchmark. The cost per pupil in APS is an average. Some kids cost APS a ton more to educate- kids who need 1to1 aids, kids who need to be spent to special schools b/c of the extent of their disabilities with aides and transportation etc. Those type of expenses artificially inflate the per pupil cost. Kids who get into TJHSST are not expensive for APS to educate in APS.[/quote] TJ's new admissions policy makes it more accessible to more students. By the time a student gets through middle school, you don't know that extra costs haven't helped that student qualify for TJ. [/quote]
