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 time at Terrell High School has been a bitter sweet moment. It hasn't been a terrible experience due to that fact that nothing is perfect. However there are many things that this school could improve on such as academic performance.

Terrell High School was a very good school. Some of the staff were very encouraging & determined go make sure we graduated. The only bad part was the limited resources we had access to because of low government funding due to the area we are in.

I liked the friends I made here. Some of the teachers are actual good, while others are not so good. The staff are great. The school needs more pathway opportunities and more clubs. They should also offer community service credit.
