[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 [b]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[/b].[/quote]

While I agree with your sentiment - I dont think the college outcomes will be better - I expect them to be the same or a bit lower.

Contrary to the rumors - the TJ curriculum  rigor has remained the same - and will result in lower average grades or lower % taking the most hardest courses at TJ.

This should impact the overall admissions outcomes, as colleges use GPA as the first filter.[/quote]

We'll see. I have heard differently. Rigor might stay the same but there are more generous curves which would reflect on GPA. [/quote]
