Lies. The essay isn’t “race based”. It’s a race blind process.

No, before the admissions change, there were FEWER students coming from economically-disadvantaged families: less than 1% of the admitted students for class of 2024.

The change had almost nothing to do with our students. It was driven by concerns of racial diversity.

Really? I heard the change was necessary to counter the many affluent students who had gained access to the test through elite prep.

You heard wrong. hearings and testimony make it clear that the desire to achieve racial diversity was the driving force behind the changes

You are allowed to explicitly select for poverty, they didn't need to eliminate the merit filter to do that.
You are allowed to select based on geography, they didn't need to eliminate the merit filter to do that.
But you are not allowed to select for race and the only way to achieve the racial diversity they desired was to eliminate the merit filter.

Curie is something like $3000/year all in. If education is a priority, you can make it work.

Many start at Curie in K and have dumped like $30k into enrichemtn by the time they apply to TJ.

Hmm, isn't that less than the $4000 that athletic students spend trying to make it onto public school basketball or football team?

Only poor Asians can afford test prep in NYC, poor Whites, Hispanics, and Blacks must be poorer and unable to afford test prep. It definitely couldn’t be because Asian families put a greater emphasis on education….oh and have higher IQs.

Asians have higher poverty rate than blacks in NYC

Where are those poor students finding money to enroll in Curie like enrichment centers that prep for the merit test?

Stuyvesant acceptance rate is around 2.7%. "This translates to roughly 800-850 students being admitted out of approximately 30,000 applicants each year. Admission is based solely on the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) score. ", and yet 48% admitted are economically disadvantaged.

Higher SES families send their kids to private school in NYC, so the pool of kids applying for the select schools tends to be more Middle to lower SES, this impacts the class make up of Stuy. It is also a larger pool of candidates filling a similar size school, to include more first generation immigrants whose kids have been in school since K. The demographics are very different then they are in FCPS. It really is that simple. There are more poor kids who are smart and have parents focused on school then there are in FCPS.

FCPS can't impose TJ offers on economically disadvantaged families, especially when 99% of them don't even apply.

At Stuyvesant, over 70% of applicants are economically disadvantaged families.

Where there is no interest, public school system can force participation.
