[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Selection is a lottery process which results in even distribution of math skills from precalc, Algebra-2 trig, Algebra-2, Geometry, all the way to remedial algebra1. That’s how the very bottom segment has vastly subpar math skills from very top segment. [/quote]
school profile data shows about 100+ being admitted into the bottom remedial math segment. Dont this bottom segment grades factor into the TJ ranking determination? [/quote]

There isn't a "remedial math" segment. There is a group of students who is coming in where their entry level in math is equivalent to Geometry that is approximately 125 or so, as compared to about 30 per year in the previous admissions process.

People want to make a big deal out of this, but the reality is that it wasn't that long ago that a [i]majority[/i] of TJ students took Geometry in 9th grade. And it was even more recently that a percentage like that (about 20%) was common... perhaps 10-12 years ago.[/quote]
