[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks similar to the data from my public HS in the Midwest. I'm not that impressed.[/quote]

I expected MUCH more impressive stats.  Thank you for sharing. [/quote]

Unfortunately TJ is in decline.  The new admissions procedure should help.[/quote]

It is a new test, if I understand it correctly?  So what will it change, exactly?  I am not clear on this. Rote memorization will still rule the school.  That is not a very appealing learning approach for most people.  Not all smart kids (or adults) find value in learning to the test - which is what is diluting the reputation, by my understanding.

You wish. TJ has the best college acceptance results in the country except maybe one or two elite boarding schools with plenty of legacies and athletic recruits. Many TJ grads choose to attend lower ranked colleges in return for significant merit aid/scholarships or to attend guaranteed medical school programs.

You sound ignorant about TJ to paint as a "rote memorization" school. That  happens at base schools not at TJ. [/quote]
