algebra 1 count went from 20+ in 2024 before admissions change to 160+ in the 2025 class, and the new class was declared as having more diversity.

"Compared to TJ Class of 2024, the proportion of students in Class of 2025 admitted with the minimal required math background of Algebra 1 in 8th grade increased sevenfold, from 4.5% to 31%"

From Page 3: "Compared to previous years, there is a huge leap in the number of students taking Algebra 1 rather than higher level math. There were 161 students admitted who only had taken Algebra 1 In previous years, that number has been about 20 students ... "[/quote]
does the increase in lower math students have anything to do with decline in ranking?[/quote]

No, it doesn't. The decline was based on data from before the selection changes. [/quote]

It was from 2022.  
The class of 2025 freshman SOLs are included and the advance pass for algebra and geometry dropped dramatically relative to 2020-2021.[/quote]
isn't it easier to do geometry at base school than to accept TJ and struggle in such a basic math course?[/quote]
