[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. But no one implemented the admissions changes so that psat scores would remain super high.  They were implemented knowing they would drop. So the dropping is not a surprise. It’s anticipated.  More interested in seeing college admissions info for this group than their psat scores.  We have to wait for that. [/quote]

College admissions is not a measure of merit. I can totally see better results due to more diversity. But, should TJ play the admission games?[/quote]

I really, really don't think that better admissions was what the school board/Gatehouse was going for when they changed TJ admissions. They were going - by their own words - for a student body more reflective of the racial makeup of our area. Whether you agree with that or disagree with that, it's what they said.[/quote]

I'm sure they didn't say that. You wanted to see college admissions as a measure of success for the new TJ admission rules, and I'm merely pointing put I would not surprise me if college admissions is better because the new TJ admission align more with college admission preference.[/quote]

They absolutely did say that. It is in court documents.[/quote]

Im the PP you responded to. I meant I'm sure that they didn't say they changed rules for college admissions. I KNOW they said they wanted the student body to be more reflective of the area's racial make-up. My point still stands that college admissions is not a measure of how successful the new admission rules were to select the best and brightest students because college admissions is also biased and do not solely use merit for their decisions[/quote]
