This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

5/5/2025

This school is overall a very good school. They have a lot of diversity and extracurricular opportunities. However, some staff can be difficult to work with and there is very little involvement of guidance counselors. The college process is not explained well.

4.0 Senior

8/5/2024

The best parts of going to this school is their track and field program and their dedication to preparing us for post high school life with cool finance and college preparedness classes. Though the negative parts of this school is the poor teaching, with it being either be too easy to pass a class or too hard with no aid to better that classroom experience.

4.0 Alum

6/5/2024

Overall, I really enjoyed my time here at Tuscarora. I as class of 2024, I can say that Tuscarora is a good school when compared to others. The school lunch could be fixed but its not terrible. The one thing the school does lack is school spirit a bit, I feel like there is definitely more we could do to enhance the student body experience. The sports teams are very good and so is the performing arts. Looking back I feel like there should have been more preparation when it came to seniors their should have been a bit more college prep / readiness in my opinion. But its a fun school as long as you are involved.

Went here for 4 years. The staff does not care about its students at all and could care less. They just want to get them to the next grade level and push out to the streets. Better off going to another school in the county further away from the city.

Tuscarora has many opportunities for their students to excel. Majority of the teachers are very passionate and want their students to succeed. However, the one aspect of this school that could be improved is the progression of junior/senior preparation for college. Otherwise, Tuscarora is a great sc...
