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.
Has a reputation of being bad at sports because there football and basketball teams are not very
good. But actually their
boys soccer, cross country, crew, swimming, and several other sports have all won either states or nationals recently.
Rated by
US News & World Report as the number 1 high school in the country.
