Overall, Tuscarora high school is not the worst highschool one can attend, but there are many things that can be improved. I see people breaking rules all the time with no punishments, especially when it comes to smoking or doing weed. The teachers are nice for the most part though, and a lot genuinely care about teaching

Tuscarora High has given me problems over the past two years however they have been very. good at finding solutions fit to my situation. I believe the teachers are excellent in certain departments however in others I feel they are lacking.

Generally, it was a good, typical high school experience. I would say that I spent a lot of time studying and it was surely difficult to find places to study AT school per say.

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...
