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.

Tate High School has amazing administration with helpful and supportive deans and guidance counslers. Some teachers are great at what they do and keep students engaged while helping them learn new skills, others lack the want or respect for students time and education. I would like to see that changed. No student should have to worry about if they will learn something each day or if they will have there time spent wasted or respected filled with learning.
