[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] People will pay more attention to the fact that the percentage of LJ applicants to TJ who were semifinalists is considerably lower, as well as the lower number of admitted students from Jackson (15 vs. 38 at Kilmer and 55 at Longfellow).   [/quote]

They might.  Or we could all forget about TJ being the sole standard of intelligence and a successful middle school, as it is a math and science specialty school, not just the next step of AAP.

Or we could look at percentages of the entire Level IV population admitted to TJ.  For the Class of 2016, Kilmer and Longfellow were higher than Jackson.  For 2015 and 2014, Jackson and Longfellow were higher than Kilmer.  (The demographics aren't posted yet for this school year.)

Or I could stop playing with statistics and go do some real work.

The bottom line is, if your child [i]needs [/i]AAP, you'll go to Jackson.  The kid won't be beset by gangs or any other violence, crime, or riff-raff-ness from either the TJ-bound kids or the FARMs kids or the ESL kids, and we should keep in mind that good children can and do fit all those categories simultaneously.[/quote]
