[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's that data for you from the most recent admissions year available - http://www.fcag.org/documents/tjadmissions0415.pdf
Black and Hispanic students made up 14.4% of the applications, but only 4% of the students admitted.

Why is OP pushing an article from six months ago anyway?  Feeling insecure and needed to find something to brag about?[/quote]
Damn!
Only 1.6% of Black and 2.4% of Hispanic!!??[/quote]
The percentage actually attending is even lower.  http://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:13:::NO::P0_CURRENT_SCHOOL_ID,P0_EDSL:300,0  Not to mention the free-and-reduced-lunches percentage of only 2%.

TJ does some things great, but let's face it: It's really just a glorified private school paid for by public tax dollars.[/quote]

Except the selection is based solely on merit and, legacy, donations and connections do not play any role! Why is non-merit based selection for schools is ok when it is not for other areas?[/quote]
