That's the point.  People making the argument that TJ is overrun with foreign students DON'T KNOW whether it is actually true. Are there 2-3 foreign students per class?  100?  Maybe parents of current TJ kids have some idea?  Certainly TJ has issues.  And I agree it's a problem if a significant chunk of TJ kids aren't really coming from the TJ catchment. But, before you hang your hat on this argument, you should have some proof it's a real problem. Otherwise, it's just a proxy for your dislike of the TJ demographics (I have no problem with the "real" Asian students at TJ-- I just dislike all those "foreign" Asians who have taken over the school).

Yes, the information is largely anecdotal. But there's a consistent pattern of immigration from Korea to attend TJHSST and then possibly American University before returning to Korea. Several LinkedIn profiles show this pattern.
