TJ parent here. That seems below the middle but not near the bottom. Weighted 4.4 is near top at end of junior year.

Can you please share the link?

"The Class of 2022 Final Grade Point Averages (8th semester) ranged from 3.255 to 4.663"
https://tjhsst.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/inline-files/2022-23%20TJHSST%20Profile_0.pdf

This approximately translates to 2.7 to 4.0 unweighted GPA.

Sounds like the middle. What are their SAT scores. If they are below 1540, I'd say you should look to W&M, JMU, VCU, GMU as targets.

where can lower half i.e., with 2.75 to 3.45 unweighted GPA apply for stem major?

Penn State

slightly above that, about 4.75, if student elects mostly AP and post AP coursework

in-state targets could be Christopher Newport, Shenandoah, Marymount, Radford, Roanoke College. Another option would be to join community college like NVCC, and transfer to a better college after couple of years

Is 4.66 the max possible weighted GPA at TJ?

Obviously it's weighted, since it's out of range for unweighted.

3.255 weighted would translate to something around 2.75 unweighted GPA. How is this possible, when a student has to maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA to remain at TJ and not be sent back to base school?

Thanks for posting this. I saw something that had GPA being range of above 3-4+…. I thought wow they are all getting good grades- interesting to now realize that may be true or could be that kids have been sent on back to base schools… would be interesting to know how many, if any, have to leave v if want to leave. I saw drop rate for 10th grade spots usually 10-15 based on 9th grade attrition…. I always thought those were kids that just didn’t like v were below B

I believe the published GPA in the school profile is at the end of Senior year. It should be lower for Juniors but not sure what the range is and the median score is. Not seen it published anywhere
