[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got into both TJ and AOS and we are at a decision point. My main concern is that I have heard from more than a few TJ parents that the teachers at TJ are not really that great.  They don’t teach much and just let the students study by themselves.  To certain extent, they are “spoiled” by the smart students, and all they need to do is to prepare hard quizzes. The TJ experience is mainly an experience of fierce competition among a bunch of very competitive kids.

1. Are TJ teachers really that bad?

2. Now with the quality of TJ admissions been watered down for 2 years, will this class of 2027 suffer from the deteriorating reputation from class of 2025 and 2026?[/quote]

The class of 2027 will be the strongest admitted to date.  Especially since the new process emphasizes natural ability over prep and test buying.

TJ is also a more collegial and less toxic environment. [/quote]

With the lowering standards and math admits, Chantilly will probably end up being the better STEM bet. The Math profiles are now similar. [/quote]

You got that backwards. They raised the standards by eliminating the preppers and test buyers and replacing them with the best and brightest from the whole county, not just the wealthiest schools where parents invested heavily in prep.[/quote]
incorrect. 1/3 of TJ will now be average math tracks. my reasonably smart, non-aap, gened, non-tj applicant kid will achieve greater math aptitude by 12th grade than 1/3 of TJ.

rocky run -&gt; chantilly + academies is probably a better STEM environment with higher mathematic aptitude. [/quote]
