[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the philosophy behind the 2021-22 9th grade admissions changes also carry over to 10th and 11th grade admissions?[/quote]

No, those admissions don't make headlines so those admissions are still merit based.[/quote]
In 2021-22, there were a number of 10th and 11th graders that failed an SOL. In 2022-23, there were a number of 11th graders that failed an SOL. That's a new phenomenon. That's why I wondered if admissions policies changed in the upper grades beginning in 2021-22 as well.[/quote]

It has more to do with impact of the pandemic on education than these wacky conspiracy theories pushed by the C4TJ crowd.[/quote]
There were no English or science SOL failures at TJ in 2020-21; there were no pandemic effects then. [/quote]

Not sure about that, but the impact of COVID-19 on math education in the United States during the 2021-2022 school year was particularly severe and continues to have lasting effects. During this period, many schools oscillated between remote, hybrid, and in-person learning, creating an inconsistent and often disrupted educational environment.

Math scores experienced notable declines. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the 2021-2022 school year saw math proficiency rates fall significantly. In fourth grade, the percentage of students scoring below the basic level rose to 38%, up from 31% pre-pandemic. Eighth graders showed a similar trend, with 36% scoring below basic, compared to 29% before the pandemic.[/quote]
