GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

TMS has a top notch administration and a great faculty and staff. All do a great job of guiding students through these transitional school years.

Some faculty does not treat all equally and there is a large number of bullying. Teacher are great for the most part but not all sports have enough support.

It’s a shame that the good teachers and the assistant principals have to deal with a principal that is clearly in over her head.

Most of the experience has been great, however my child does have one teacher that is disrespectful to students not in a clique. Admin staff and counseling have outstanding.
