A high school located in Northern Virginia, known as TJ or TJHSST. Focuses on science and technology. Applicants must take an admissions test consisting of an English and math portion. This is compared on a sliding scale with their GPA, and if these scores are above the cut off they make it to the second round, which requires an essay and teacher recommendations. A large number of asians attend this school. The class of 2012 was the first class where asians were actually the majority, instead of caucasians.

Rated by US News & World Report as the number 1 high school in the country.

Get the science mug.Related Words
A system by which the Universe is better understood by the use of observations, experimentation, theories, and peer-review by fellow scientists. Often misconstrued to be the opposite, even anathema to religion, despite the fact that:
1. Much of modern science has been established by people of faith.
2. Many religious texts do not explicitly mention themes proven by science (i.e. evolution, microbiology, etc.) due to the simple fact that such things have not been discovered yet back then. Science merely fills in the gaps that isn't religion's purpose to fill in the first place.
3. A logical response to believing in a supreme creator or creators would be for the curious to 'want' to learn more about what has been created in the first place.
4. Despite public misconceptions, the Catholic Church have been known for providing a nurturing ground for what will become known as modern science in the west, even allowing the dissection of human corpses to advance knowledge of the human anatomy which is something the Greeks and Romans would have not allowed.
5. Logically speaking, a supreme being who would give people their particular brand of intelligence and a natural curiosity of the outside world would expect them to make use of them.

Pea-brained fundamentalist : Science is evil! It encourages people to sacrifice faith in exchange for what they can only see and tough!
Arrogant materialist: Faith is for the small-minded and easily deceived! Nothing else matters except what is verifiable by Science!
Me: Fools! Stop acting as if Religion and Science are supposed to be opposites! Enough of this false-dichotomy BS! IMHO, I know that one can find ways for them to compliment each other.

Get the Basic science bitch mug.The one school where you are with either Stuy rejects or people who ACTUALLY put bronx first. the bathrooms are concerning. Trust me. and it's totally not because all the upperclassmen are addicted to something. But it's fine because you'll probably never reach the bathroom in the small cramped hallways that have our tiny lockers. when you're outside getting food from either Ned's or Jay's but not Tony's cos that's too far and DEFINITELY not Michelle's cos that' a rude woman with disgusting food, get ready for the large crowd and the possibility of not being able to order anything cos they cant see you or you aren't loud enough, so keep a tall, loud friend nearby.once you're done and you go inside from the one tiny stairwell that 2000 kids squeeze through every day, you walk to the entrance by the lunchroom where the same 2000 kids who take vallo have to squeeze through but people like to be bitches and cut in from the side. but for some reason we can't walk in through the main entrance that has too many door. we're ghetto and yet most of us are from either Queens or Manhattan so we waste $3000 a year for vallo, the private bus service that constantly has buses breaking down, so you'll have to wait sometimes on the highway for other buses to pick you up. but we still do this cos its better than taking the ever so unreliable 4 subway. but it's ok cos we are all smartasses who cant miss a day cos if you do, you're screwed for you geo test cos cervons proofs are hard as fuck
