[quote=Anonymous]First, I doubt it is TJ parents complaining about the application fee. They paid it in a prior year. It is current applicants who are just discovering the fee, Second, this is admittedly old (2012), but founf TJ spends about $1,000 more per pupil. LCPS spends $17,400 per pupil to send kids to TJ (plus an extra $2000 to repay renovation costs). This covers transportation costs (not a short commute) and tutition. FCPS per pupil spring was $14,767. So we are talking about $2600 more for TJ. Once you subtract out LCPS busing, the $1000 figure is still close to correst. When you factor in the Governors School Transfer from the State, TJ spends little more than other high schools per pupil— and may spend less. https://books.google.com/books?id=8gnnRbqY_ScC&pg=PA158&lpg=PA158&dq=tjhsst+per+pupil+spending&source=bl&ots=lXSbiIvMrN&sig=Ju9XvB-eEtW3plLHkqt8WO5-PDI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjQ_9Ch9KPdAhUJvVkKHUgmB9M4ChDoATAHegQIBBAB#v=onepage&q=tjhsst%20per%20pupil%20spending&f=false[/quote]
