[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] And yes, a big reason for the overwhelming Asian population majority of TJ is the applicant numbers. Numbers from demographics besides Asian have dropped precipitously as the school has become more Asian over the years, which is a source for some concern. Of bigger concern is that total applications have dropped by 20% since the class of 2022.[/quote]
It's a source of concern for who? There are no barriers to applying. If parents/kids don't apply because they are not interested, then that is their choice. If they don't apply because of the demographics, even if they are interested, then they should check their bias/stereotype filter. It is their problem and nobody else's. If they don't apply because they don't expect to be accepted or are not prepared to invest the time and effort required, they should know that it is a selective school with a competitive admissions process, but the process is fair and quite transparent, and as a whole, selects the ones who come out on top of the admission criteria. There are many other kids who are motivated enough, and put in the effort, not just in 8th grade, but throughout upper elementary and middle school years. So, it is their choice to make whether to apply or not. And finally, TJ is still just another school. The child has almost the same opportunity at whatever school they go to, to pursue their interest.[/quote]
