You have to get to post-calculus to get to a class where the math teacher is teaching the top students something they might struggle with.

This is nonsense. Our DC did no private enrichment but followed school teacher direction to practice math at home following math worbooks, priced less than bic mac meal or a kfc fried chicken bucket, and using free online resources from school and khan academy. Math success is directly proportional to amount of time student spends on Math daily. At base school, math time is left as optional, whereas at TJ the math curriculum requires it. This is a discipline to be taught by parents at home starting elementary school and continuing in middle school.

TJVMT is comparable... The club is for aspiring MOPs.

That fits "essentially no school math classes". It's off the main curriculum and is a unique class.
Is that a class in school?

At TJ, child puts in the effort to review the material, practice all the homework problems and still finds the tests reasonably challenging.

Kudos to TJ teachers for actually keeping the standards high.

I heard this is mostly a new development since most kids who got in previously only did so because of the prep and ill-gotten test answers.
