[quote=Anonymous]The TJ application requires that MS Math and Science are honors classes and that students take at least one other honors class. Plus they have to have Algebra 1.  And 3.5 GPA. So every kid in the top 1.5% that is considered has had a minimum of six honors classes by 8th grade. I would guess that most of the kids in that top 1.5% have more then 6 honors classes. I would guess that most of those in the 1.5% are taking AAP classes, which means LA, Math, Science, and Social Studies are honors classes.

Do you even hear yourself? The standard is not easy to attain. It really isn't. Parents of kids thinking about TJ seem to have a very skewed idea of how difficult it is to hit those standards. Most kids will not even come close to hitting those standards. But every TJ applicant has to.

So yeah, they kids at TJ this year all took honors classes and at least Algebra 1. I believe the report that was put out regarding the Freshman class showed that most of the kids had Algebra 1 and Geometry.
