The Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (Fairfax County, Virginia) offers a comprehensive college preparatory program emphasizing the sciences, mathematics, and technology. The school serves students selected on the basis of aptitude and interest in the biological, physical, mathematical, and computer sciences, and who intend to persue college preparation in the sciences, engineering, or related fields. During the planning phase that preceded the actual opening of the school, a survey of students was conducted in order to determine opinions relative to the school and to solicit ideas and suggestions about its development and/or operation. This document provides an analysis of the data collected in the survey. Data were collected and analyzed according to grade, sex, ethnic origin, and by item. Results indicated that the school should be established, although only about 25% of the students surveyed indicated that they would be interested in attending such a school. Concerns of the students included an apparent limit to extracurricular activities and the travel time needed to attend the school. Data is displayed in 33 figures. The survey instrument is appended.
