Education is good. Not really the best school for doing a sport. There hasn't been a lot of fights. Really crowded now. Has options that will help you get through high school easier like raiderlinks. I would recommend it for education but not for doing extracurricular activites like sports.
I am currently enrolled at TJ as a Sophomore class of 2011. To me TJ has been a good school for academic and the social scene. They offers many electives that will help the student succed to a four year college or university, like AVID for example a program to help the student prepares for college. So yep I difinitely recommend this school
Tj has excellent programs that give not only students who are seeking to challenging courses, but even those who are not. They give numerous types of programs (IB, Raiderlinks, Running Start, regular) in order to suit the student body's needs. The IB program have excellent teachers (Mr. Webber!!) Thomas Jefferson excels at non-contact sports (i.e. Math Team, Speech and Debate-which by the way, won state twice a row :D- Deca). However, there's been a steady increase of numbers of students (mainly because of the IB program) that it assembly seatings and lunch times have been a slight problem. But it should be noted that as of now, the current administration is piloting a new lunch schedule that, although confusing, will hopefully benefit the entire school. Drug use, alcohol, and violence are at a minimum at this school. Practical pranks of the fire alarms are decreasing. Good neigborhood.
TJ is giving me chances to get me through high school and into college. The teachers are very helpful and don't have that high of standards. The sports here are not that great of a team but they can help keep kids out of trouble and give them something they enjoy. There business programs in my opinion are the best in the area and will give great opportunities to get something out of it
