There have ALWAYS been Algebra 1 students who got into TJ. Indeed, for most of the school’s early existence, the majority of students entering were coming in from Alg1.

[b]Some of the school’s most outstanding graduates, even in recent years, have entered from Alg1.[/b]

But you’re going to sit here and pretend that you care about them and their well-being as an excuse to advance your pernicious self-serving narrative that TJ should only be for kids who are in Geometry or higher - or that kids who are in Pre-calc or above should be automatic admits.

Alg1 TJ students do not need your support. [b]They have been doing splendidly and will continue to do so[/b] while you cry your crocodile tears. Enough already with this nonsense.[/quote]

Some posters are very committed to the false narrative about decline in standards. They prefer the rigged system where only wealthy students whose parents could afford to buy the test had a shot at admission.[/quote]

96% had finished more than Algebra 1 before the class of 2025. That number is up to 30%+.

TJ has had to implement [b]remedial math instruction[/b] since the class of 2025 began.

There is no false narrative. These are facts.[/quote]

Even before that, as the infamous math emails show.  (That was due to learning loss from the pandemic (which the faculty called "attitude") though so maybe you think it's okay?)[/quote]
