[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's an important link that may help to clarify a few things:

https://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:108:5882865729226::NO::P0_CURRENT_SCHOOL_ID,P0_EDSL:300,0

According to these numbers, of the eleven students who have left TJ during this school year, 8 of whom are freshmen....

6 are Asian
4 are Hispanic
1 is white
ZERO are Black

No breakdown of which ones are the freshmen, but still very enlightening.[/quote]

I look forward to OP coming back and disavowing all of her racist dog whistles.[/quote]

Hi there!  I am OP.

I started this thread based on a simple, YES/NO question:

- are there significantly more TJ drop outs under the new admission system?

NO WHERE did I mention, or even imply, suggest, infer, etc.  race, in any of my posts.  I’m just a parent of a TJ applicant, and a younger child who may apply in 2 years.

But YOU brought race into this, PP.   You and one or two others, who are apparently OBSESSED with race.  So obsessed, you can’t even answer a simple YES / NO question without making it about YOUR obsession with race.  Oh - and you can’t answer without calling someone a racist.

Then - on top of that - you actually have the nerve to call ME a racist??! Seriously?? You obviously don’t know me.

Rather, it’s clear that you are the bigoted, anti-Asian racist here, OP.  You and your friends - BIGOTS AND ANTI-ASIAN RACISTS.

Now that we have cleared that up,  I invite you to take your race-obsession elsewhere to bicker with people (here, for instance:  https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1039775.page

This thread is about establishing facts and a simple yes/no answer, which you obviously can’t provide.[/quote]

Hi OP. The answer to your original question, as of now, is no.

Wishing your child the best of luck in the admissions process should you partake in it.[/quote]

Thanks - I appreciate that.

Ironically, my child who applied has had some second thoughts, and will likely choose to stay with their friends at our local HS.  But it will be an accomplishment my child will always have if they are offered a spot.  We respect our child’s choice of HS, and just want them to thrive where they choose.

2nd child seems far more interested and driven.  Again we support their choice, and will continue to do so, whatever happens.

I personally do not believe it’s a good idea to force a teen into an experience like TJ without a lot of commitment on the teen’s part.[/quote]
