<p>What does Jesuit mean? haha</p>
<p>edit (wikipedia): “Jesuits are the largest male religious order in the Catholic Church, with 18,815 members—13,305 priests, 2,295 scholastic students, 1,758 brothers and 827 novices—as of January 2008”</p>

<p>It means that it is a Roman Catholic school.</p>
<p>Nice! My neighbor got into Exeter last year! She loves it, but says the work load is tremendous, and at times it can increase to about 7 hours a night.</p>
<p>TJHSST is a public magnet, not a private school.</p>
<p>sidwell friends is the best hands down </p>
<p>fun fact: most presidents kids go there</p>

excerpt from washington post
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax County, with a rating of 7.307 and an Equity and Excellence rate of 100 percent, was not ranked because it is a magnet school with a selective admissions policy and an average SAT score, 2184, higher than the highest average for any regular enrollment school in the country. The index is designed to show which schools are challenging average students and does not work well with schools like Jefferson that have few or no average students.</p>
