Why do you say that? TJ does not represent the entire school district

In regular years, TJ was about 10-15% private school admits. Last year only 6-7 kids from private schools.
The number was 15 from private and homeschool for the initial offers - so about 3%.
Rather my kids be at private

Private school can be a disadvantage due to class size. When splitting hairs 2nd of 5 isn't as impressive as 2nd of 30. The private school kid lost out to the public school kid. (True story)
