[quote=Anonymous]My son graduated from TJ and my daughter is in TJ.  They are very proud to be at TJ.  TJ high school is not any difference from any other local high school in term of social life.  They invole with after school activities and participate in all kinds of school clubs.  Every student treats each other with respect and they are friendly.  This applies to both boy and girl.  However,  in term of academic,  TJ high school treats their students like college students.  Students are required to spend a lot of independent study to catch up with fast pace curriculum.  Not to mention ton and ton of homework.  Even though TJ high school is concentrated in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Math(STEM),  but not all students who go to college majoring in STEM.

From my experience,  TJ high school provides their students with a strong educational foundation and working habit.  However, TJ IS NOT a school get students to Ivy League university.   If the goal is to get into Ivy League university, you are better off attending local high school.  " The star is brightest if there is only one in the sky.  The star is not too bright if there are so many bright stars in the sky".  No Ivy League university will take all TJ students regardless their GPA and SAT score.
