TJ Mom...what are you doing constantly raving about TJ? We've heard you before...go back to the VA Public School forum. We get it...you love TJ! Good for you!

[quote=Anonymous]Good for:
Hard workers who are very bright but NOT highly gifted. 
Girls who are shy and need a nurturing environment to thrive
Those who are interested in the arts and photography. Great teachers for this.
Those who like to play sports. Great sports program and lots of offerings. Even if you're not great at the sports if you like it you'll get a chance to play on a team, which is great.
Teens with a lot of angst. Their counselors and teachers are great at dealing with this.

Bad for:
Someone who is highly gifted academically. They would max out the course offerings and be bored. And while the students are all very smart it's really rare to find someone who is, say, TJ-level smart.
Some teachers value mediocrity, group think so if your child is really out there in terms of thinking it wouldn't be a great fit.
Someone who is really academically competitive. Just not that much competition there and you don't really get to know your class rank or anything like that. There aren't a lot of contests per se.
