GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Tennyson High School Isn't as bad as people view it. The best part of Tennyson are the Teachers. They want us to succeed and make it to college. The worst part about tennhson are the students. This is becasue A lot of them want to act cool and always fighting. I would like to see Tennyson to be revamped and have a good reputation.

There is a huge variety of teachers at Tennyson. Many of I have heard complaint after complaint, one teacher had to be transferred to another school because no student chose to take her class. But there are also some teachers who go above and beyond in their classrooms and are greatly loved by their students. Many of the students don't seem to care too much about academics though.
