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.

My daughter is in the Tag program at Tasker. I love the curriculum that she is being taught. In addition, I love all off the after school programs and activities. I didn't not give it five stars because of some of the behaviors of students.

I was bullied no action was taken whatsoever even after I reported several times the teachers can be really rude for no reason some even go as far as insulting and humiliating the student for their own fun. I am so happy I am going to a new school. my mental health has been in the dumps after going to this school.

This school is an absolute nightmare disorganized, disgusting, and inhumane. If you care about your kid’s well-being and mental health, stay far away. Bullying runs rampant, and I was constantly picked on and made fun of with little to no support. Only now do I have the strength to write this review...

Not recommended for special education children. Teachers are not trained. They don't communicate with the parents. Every time the child is uncooperative they simply kick him out of school. One asked what led up to the event they can't tell you. Seriously go anywhere else

(Current student)This school is ok. There are lots of fights, inappropriate behavior, and drama. There's also a lot of racism/discrimination. This school is fun though and its nice to make friends. The teachers aren't so bad, but they're not the best either. Far from the best. Would recommend!
