(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is my son's first year at TJ and he loves it. I have to say the teachers really do care about the kids at this school reguardless of there parents social or financial status. The only thing I would like to see happen at this school and other Edison schools is a homework hotline. This would keep parents informed on what school work was assigned for that day and any upcoing test. Yes it's the parents responsibilty to help with our childrens education so give us the tools we need. You can't build a house without a hammer.

(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is my first year at TJ and it's a pretty good school. The teachers are for the most part really nice and good at their job. I wish this school had more after school activities. There is barely any bullying and when there is it's usually minor. I look forward to another two years here.
