Sinopsis

A fascinating, and disturbing, story of an urban high school?s struggle to survive in the post-integration era of educational reformThomas Jefferson High School faced court-ordered busing, student unrest, white flight, district-sponsored alternative schools, high school consolidation, budget crises, closure threats, magnet programs, and co-existence with a Governor?s School. Each event impacted the culture of academic excellence that had been painstakingly crafted during the school?s first thirty years. This book offers a history of Tee-Jay from its inception in 1930 through its 'glory days,' covers the school?s efforts to deal with the challenges of the post-integration era, and concludes with a discussion of what the Tee-Jay story can tell us about the future of academic high schools and integration in the urban areas of the United States.
