Test scores? Children are apathetic at this age to testing unless it involves some sort of personal gain. This is hands down the most excellent school I have ever observed at, attended, or sent my children to. The racial/ethnic mix is very condusive to learning. For the person who graded the school so

I went to JT for three years, then I moved to Oklahoma. I love JT more than anything, and I miss it more than anyone will know. So what if the test scores aren't that good?

I attended this school for three and half semesters. This school is not to bad for the students, but I would not want to send my kids here (if I had some).
