I really liked that it felt like a welcoming environment. The teachers were helpful and supported students in their ambitions. There were multiple after school clubs and sports that students could join the get to know one another as well. The only downside was that the building was really old and during winters heaters would not work. However there is a new building now and those issues are long gone. Otherwise, the education itself is very challenging and worthwhile!
The TJ environment is founded on inclusiveness and support. Students and staff involve themselves to make our community more united while doing our best to set ourselves on the right path. With a primarily IB focused curriculum, the majority of teachers demonstrate their care by offering their guidance, even as the rigor progresses. Our Leadership department in particular enables students to realize their potential and the benefit of helping one another. The TJ spirit is remarkable, as seen through our numerous reputable clubs and school members. TJ is a public school after all, so the academics could improve in certain aspects such as Math & World Language, but the joy our Raiders exert makes the journey much more enjoyable.
Thomas Jefferson was a very ok experience. The teachers were very hit or miss. The ones that enjoyed teaching were often the ones that seemed to be the more outgoing and fun classes! The classes that you actually learned from or still remember after graduation. the misses seem to be the teachers who just taught what they had too, the things the book told them to teach.
