I am from out of state and just lurk here so I had to look up TJHS because I had never heard of it. It's a magnet school, you had to take a test to get in so the kids students are going to be smart = good school acceptances.

Many people bash the school even though it is considered the "best" high school in the country with the highest average SAT score, highest number of NMSF, great facilities, good teachers, good college placements etc. since Asians make up about 68% of the students.

It is #5, not the best in the country--it is one of the best. Those schools are in TX and AZ. That said, I think it is awesome to have one of the best schools in the DMV area.

According to Newsweek it is and considering all of the rankings, it seems TJ is the only school that appears in the top 5 for all of the rankings.

Who is bashing the school? I've only seen posts that bash the TJ parents.

"I wonder if that means they know about the cheaters at the school?"

"No, they don't. If they did, the list will look nothing like OP posted. God knows there are many..."

"Just like cheaters will cheat..."

"That said, there is a cheating problem at TJ despite all that intelligence. Acing standardized tests and acing all the required academics are two different things."

WOW. That is crazy impressive.

+1. I don't have a kid at TJ but the hater just seems sad. Wonder if this is a rejected student, or an over-invested parent of one.
