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.

My experience at tahquitz high school for 4 years it was not bad I just wish they would try to help students get more together with each other and get to know each other and know all the teachers more.

I have attended THS since my Freshman year and I would say my overall experience at the school has been good. There have been a few times where my school felt unsafe but the school did everything to make it feel safer by adding security and bag checks at the beginning of the school day. The teachers are amazing and very supportive.

Personally, Tahquitz High School has been everything I've ever looked for in a high school. Staff and students included, they're all uplifting throughout your whole 4 years, especially the counselors. They've done an awesome job at keeping up with my needs and desire and being uplifting every step of the way.

I'm very disappointed in the leadership at this school. Just yesterday there was a fight on campus that involved parents and students. While they were fighting all of the administrators stood back watching. Allowing a student to break up the fight. Again , poor leadership!
