Who said they wouldn’t be? Chill.
The 18,000 posts in DCUM AAP with all the handwringing about TJ did.

One of the ones that came in last is titled "Second Start." I think I'd be more proud of those kids' accomplishments than TJ.

If TJ was so great hy is TJ's SAT average so much lower than the MCPS STEM magnets?
Along comes the MCPS moron as usual.
So where is Poolesville on this list? And what do you think the TJ average would have been if it were as small as the Blair magnet?
In any event MCPS doesn’t report SAT scores externally any longer and TJ #s will plummet with the admissions change so it will all be moot soon.

My son went to TJ and now is at the University of Pennsylvania. Not sure anyone even knows where he went to HS. I'd bet money that they do not care.

That says a lot about your employer. Or maybe it says something about UVA. Yikes!

While I love our high school, I think it had very, very little to do with the fact that my kid got a 36 on the ACT.
