What's Your Take?

"TJ long ago went from being a STEM school, as Dr. Dell refers to it, to simply a “good” school, where kids go to either get into a good college, or escape their “base” high school. I wonder if it would help or hurt to have a second magnet school somewhere in the county dedicated to the humanities, as a counterweight to TJ."
