[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]all the current admissions process has done is increase the previously admitted 20+ lower level math algebra 1 applicants to about 190+, half of them struggle with poor grades and other half return to base school in first year, and some of those slots are backfilled with froshmore merit applicants?

Not sure about that but the old process limited selection mostly to a small set of wealthy feeders where families could afford test prep. Now at least we get the top kids from many schools and not the 3rd rate preppers from a few wealthy schools.[/quote]

And yet somehow the academic quality of the students has plummeted.
PSAT scores are down over 100 points and we have to see what the sat scores look like but I doubt it will be much better.
Almost the entire science and math team contingents from virginia used to be from TJ.  This is not the case anymore.  
The top scorers on AMC 10 used to be from Tj, none of the top 10 were in 2025

You have traded off any semblance of merit for a dozen more black kids in the class of 2028.[/quote]

That is completely false. The academic quality appears to be comparable. Your just conflating the impact of covid to create a false narrative.[/quote]
