[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1. My kid is currently at TJ. Older kid went to base HS. Same courses. Same curriculum. At TJ often 2 semesters worth of course are crammed into 1. And that actually hurts the learning. My older learnt his fundamentals much better at his base school. TJ works for the top third of the class, who are truly academically advanced. But the remaining 2/3's struggle. [b]Only consolation is the TJ diploma.[/b][/quote] Not even sure the TJ diploma worth anything!? Especially considering how brutal it is for TJ kids applying to college. My TJ kid senior has 1550+ SAT but not stellar GPA thanks for the rigor/tough grading of TJ. I was told by a TJ counselor that my kid will have no chance admitting to UVA, W&M or V-Tech. Perhaps VCU is more likely!![/quote] PP here: cograts on the 1550..can u share the GPA. Curious to hear what is considered (at least by 1 parent) as an average GPA. [/quote]
