[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ parent here. Daughter is a sophomore. She took Algebra 1 in 8th grade. She was never too fond of Math, she got good grades but was no way accelerated or a math genius. However, she was passionate about science, she participated in science olympiads, designed science experiments on her own. She wanted to go to TJ for the science related opportunities, and is loving it there. She is not interested in engineering or CS but is completely utilizing the opportunities offered by TJ for science.[/quote]

Not OP but this also describes my daughter. She is focused more on the wide range of unique and experiential opportunities that TJ offers to students. One of the biggest pulls for her is being around other smart and motivated students. As for whether or not she ends up in the "top 20%"...whatever. Our hope is that she does well and has an enriching and full high school experience.

We went to the Preview Night and she came away SO excited by the school, teachers she spoke to, AND how kind the current students were. All of the rising freshman know this will be hard and my guess is most of them will be fine. And hopefully, they don't come on this board and read threads about TJ college acceptances being a "mess" this year because admissitions to HYP allegedly went down. Success is about much more than your college admission success rate or final GPA. (Anyone else remember their HS GPA?)[/quote]
