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.

Tennyson High School in my opinion was extremely inclusive of other. Their commitment to world house is amazing amongst other schools. The amount of programs offered and their purpose helped guide me through my four years of high school.

Tennyson High school is for me a great school. Tennyson has a bad rep but is in my opinion a great school with the Ap's and Honors that they offer. They also offer great clubs and my friend's and some of my teachers are what makes me love the school but it has way to many downsides. One of the many that I preach and will keep preaching is they don't have boards to separate urinals in the boy's bathrooms. The bathrooms (2) have 5 urinals and non of them are ever used now the question is what do the boys use well we wait for the stalls. The urinals are too awkward and close to use unless you have to use the restroom fast or if you are a freshman and don't understand yet. The urinals are to close for comfort and the weird eye contact just makes it unpleasant and it just isn't worth it me and many others would rather just wait it out for the stalls.

As a teacher at Tennyson for 3+ years, I'd say it is on the up & up. We have a leadership team that abides by its name, a dedicated staff that can take your students as high as they are willing, and a loving, diverse student body. The school is safe - fights are way down. There are lots of clubs, ex...

As a graduate of this school, I am torn between an average and an above average rating because it is not the cream of the crop preppy school. Needless to say, I am on my way to getting my Masters despite many barriers to a better education given my resources. Most teachers here are compassionate and...
