The ranking was based on data from 2022 or earlier so it fell before they fixed the admission process.[/quote]

Yes, TJ fell to #14 based on data from before the admission changes. That was established earlier in this thread.

The ranking was based on data from 2022 and earlier, so before they fixed admissions, but once they get the updated stats, TJ will be back on top.[/quote]
This is incorrect. The first class of the new admissions policy took their SOL in 21-22. This is a large reason for the drop. [/quote]

How could gifted kids fail SOL?  SOL is pretty basic stuff.[/quote]

I don't know that they failed SOL.  
It could just be slightly lower test scores overall.  The top of these lists can be very sensitive to small changes.
One of the metrics used is how well the URM students are doing and if you suddenly start bringing in URM students for the sake of bringing in URM students, they are likely to under-perform the URM students at other top schools where students are selected on merit.  It's only 10% of the score but like I said, the top of these lists can be sensitive to relatively small changes.[/quote]
