[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ provides elite private school education at public school cost. It's a great deal for students able to gain admission.[/quote]
TJ's education quality isn't that great. It's the student quality that makes it stand out.[/quote]

It's an amazing education. Full stop. Although student quality I high, there are other things at play:

Integrated classes (IBET, CHUM, then integrated humanities).

Lots of post-AP. Especially in CS

Year long IBET group research project as a freshman, presented at a symsiumm.   Ditto senior year projects.

8th period clubs and activities

Outside, summer and school year interns and meentorshipps

It has a handfuls weak reachers, like all schools.  Most teachers are stong. May are tough graders.

Plus, the fun stuff:

Asking weeks
Homecoming
No bells between classes
Can eat lunch anywhere in the school or outside
CubeSat
INIte
HackTJ
TjStar
Freshman Lock-in
Junior Kings Dominion
Sadies
J Day
The f*cking robot/ robot competition + the 6th act to R + J. (Same time)
Prom after class is out for the year
ANGP
#ThereForTheSports

Basically, it's an overall amazing learning environment.

If you are not impressed by he academics or teachers, or the environment or the college list, don't send your kids.  Easy.  Done. Why are you here trying to comvinue parents it's a terrible  school?  It's not for my kid.

They are envious that their kids cannot attend the number 1 ranked best high school in the country with the highest SAT and the most number of NMSF and the best college placement public school that offers private school education from former professors, PhDs and JDs :mrgreen: .[/quote]
And the most cheaters[/quote]

Don't be annoyed that TJ kids receive one of the best high school education in the country for free while your kids do not. Those TJ kids will go on to create lot of jobs in the tech industry and your kids will have jobs at least working for them someday. :D [/quote]
I am not annoyed because my kid had a better education than TJ and for free. TJ graduates don't create jobs unless it involves cheating.
TJ, overrated and underperformed.[/quote]

I am not a TJ Parent. You need real help! You just labelled 100's of smart, intelligent students as cheaters! How sick is that!! Your child did not make it to the school  but that does not make school bad. Granted there are issues here and there. No school is perfect. But to simply look down on such a great school simply reflects how bitter you are from inside!!
