[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are quite a few freshman that have started the process and then decided to stay this year after the parent meeting. If your child is drowning, switch now for 2nd quarter. Freshman year will ramp up a bit more during 2nd semester— if they are struggling now, it will likely only get harder. [/quote]

Although there are always a few that transfer back, it seems a lot lower than in years past these days.[/quote]

These vague references make you sound like trump.

We don't have to make this about the new admissions process if you feel like the uptick in kids returning to base schools reflects poorly on it.
But stop it with the bullsh*t.  
The number of kids returning to their base school has increased significantly, the administration does what it can to try to keep that number low but sometimes it is in the best interests of the student to return.  It's not like half the class is returning but over 40 students in the incoming class of 2025 are not going to be in the graduating class of 2025, [b]it used to be 4 or 5[/b].

I want every kid to be successful but that success may not be possible at TJ for every student.[/quote]

This is a huge undersell of the number of kids returning to base.

There were a couple of years surrounding Covid when the number of students dropping out was low, but historically the rate of returns was between 8-12% for most years.

486 students were admitted for Class of 2024 and 439 graduated. And that also includes admitted froshmores. And that was the last class to be admitted before the new admissions process.

It never "used to be 4 or 5". That's nonsense.[/quote]

Someone linked VDOE data in an earlier thread backing up the disparity pre and post admissions change.
There is some natural attrition that will occur at a school like TJ because people can move out of the TJ district but you can't really move into the TJ school district as easily.
Do you have published data to support your statement?[/quote]
