[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It fundamentally repurposes TJHSST from a high school intended to serve the most talented STEM students to a demonstration project that an almost random group of county students (a 3.5 GPA isn't tough to pull off in middle school) can take STEM classes.

Remind us again why we really need this school?  There's a very good chance Langley will test higher than this version of TJ. [/quote]

I mean, the big question really is this: What is involved in the holistic review? How is it determined which students actually get placed into the merit lottery? What's evaluated appears to be the new SIS and the report card. I severely doubt that every kid with a 3.5 is going to get placed in the lottery, and I would further bet that they will try to chop down the application pool to about 1000 or so using that holistic review.[/quote]

The Holistic Review will be used to reduce Asian students and increase black/Hispanic students on the lottery list. [/quote]
