The best part is their theater department. I have met so many wonderful people through it. The worst part is that there is hardly any communication with parents.
3/28/2024
There isn't much that's special about TJ. The highlights of my time there were spent in extracurriculars like math team and musical theater, but anywhere can be bearable if you find your people. Just have to pick your struggles. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it, but it's not the worst school to go to.
3/15/2024
I believe the best parts of being a student at thomas jefferson is the amount of access you can get help from those being your teachers and counselors all around in the school they can help you in any way with any problems than can be going on outside or inside the school and how they show our school diversity in culture through assembles and the worst parts would have to be the school food and how the school tries to fix in their own ways than how the student tells them

I can't say that I'm surprised with the lower test scores. This is in Federal Way School district. The area here is very diverse. Along with ethnic diversity, there are many other diversities to take into consideration. Many of these aren't conducive to academic learning. My daughter just transferre...

I'm am a student at this school and its big and nice but fights happen everyday and the bullying is out of control i had a anxiety attack on Tuesday and the staff didn't help me worse school ever
7/22/2021
The TJ experience was great. Teachers (especially math) were professional and helpful but required assignment completions. They even offered our son after hours and weekend support with groups of students. Running Start was a great opportunity and well monitored.
