[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t this the class that was admitted with the new admissions to have less Asians?[/quote]

Yes, and no. This class was admitted under the new system but has historically high Asian enrollment. In fact, the change helped low-income Asians mroe than any other group.[/quote]

The class of 2025 admitted a significantly lower percent of Asian students and ALSO admitted a significantly higher percent of low income Asians with bonus points who were admitted over other Asian students who had higher grades or essay scores.[/quote]

What is categories as “significant” here?. The Farms rate under new admissions is still very low only around 11%. Big majority TJ students is still from wealthy family.[/quote]

Going from 0.1% to 11% is a 110x increase.

Seems significant to me.

It went from 2% to 11%. Still significant but I don't know where you are getting 0.1% from.

And frankly a lot of those kids are struggling.[/quote]

Oops. I mistyped and then absent-mindedly calculated off of that.

It was 0.62% ED for the admitted class of 2024. It was >10% for class of 2029. That would be a >1600% increase in admitted students.

As for enrollment, it went from 2.05% ED in 2020-21 to 16.82% for 2024-25. That’s a 820% increase.

You are assuming that “those kids” are struggling.

It's not an assumption.  The class of 2025 had 25% farm.  That was too big a preference.  They've scaled it back 10 closer to 10-15% but we are still selecting for an academically competitive program using something other than academic ability.  The kids picked based on non academic criteria are more likely to struggle and the greater the preference, the greater the struggle.  [/quote]

No, you have zero facts to back this up. You are making assumptions.

The power of observation will have to suffice until FCPS is willing to release that sort of data.  [/quote]

Do you want data who left TJ as freshmen and the reason, and their grade, their address, their race, their wealth too?

Why would FCPS willing to release that sort of data?[/quote]
