[quote=Anonymous]Totally possible do be intensely involved in sports all four years and does not have to settle for "bottom third' in GPA.  (AND bottom third according to GPA students have good college outcomes. Clemson, UC San Diego, BU).

Strongly agree that athletes often do best while they are in-season.

Have student at TJ, involved in sports at high school and also year-round club/travel. It's a great outlet for the academic intensity. But sometimes my kid is the only one on the club team studying en route to a meet or at the team hotel on a weekend.

The class is too big (550?) to say "most people" prioritize academic STEM clubs over sports. There are a lot of artists, dancers, political folks, activists there in addition to a lot of athletes. Tons of kids don't do academic/STEM clubs because classes/workload and labs/internship within the school cover those bases very well.

Some folks go all in on academics at TJ. But the class president is also likely to be the cross country captain. Or the iNite MC is likely to be musical's lead actress.  Kind of like many other high schools.[/quote]
