My experience at Tapestry High school was good and bad . The good parts was some of the teachers on how they showed how much they cared for us and our safety inside and outside of school and made sure we were always on top of our work. The bad part was the food sometimes and how school changed so much ever since we had to lock our phones up but other than that it showed us a lot after that to get our work done and create bonds and conversations we never had before.

Tapestry Charter School is the school I choose to continue my education and it was and still is a good school. The teachers and staff are extremely kind and gives attention to every student. There are some disagreements among the students which teachers have to get involved in but overall, it's not bad here.
