My experience was good at TMSA. Resources for college admissions and academics were vast, and the small school setting allowed me to gain much experience. However, the school lacked sports and a lot of other social aspects.

Chaos. That's the word that I would use to describe TMSA schools. The CO makes changes every year and these changes harm students and families. Do your research and don't come here.

Overall, TMSA is a very good school. There are shortcomings in sports, student activities and clubs, and stable administration areas. There have also been concerns about the administration and the board ignoring parents' feedback in last couple of years. However, academics, students process, and diversity are strong points of the school.

Teachers assigned to much work, expected maximum effort from their students, and took no regard to actually teaching them. I dealt with bullying for over three years at this school, and it was not handled well....
