[quote=Anonymous]My kid is currently a TJ junior. My answer is a firm no. No way. Like others have said, if you can make to the top 30 percent and do extra curriculars, great. If not, base school is much better, not saying it is easy. For the bottom 30 percent, where my kid is (based on the PSAT score), it is much worse off. Btw, TJ teachers are not great, quite a few do not teach and you are expected to learn on your own. Math homework and practice review are a lot easier than their actual tests, which are often six or seven pages long that you have to finish in 80 minutes. I don't find their counselors to be effective either. Sink or swim attitude is quite prevalent and if you sink then it is your problem and the school is not a right fit for you. [/quote]
