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.

All three of my children attend school at Tate. We have been at Tate for 3 years, entering into our fourth. The teachers are student driven and family oriented. The administration is present and active in assisting their teachers and staff, as well has helping parents in any way they can. I'm looking forward to the schools opening back up after Covid, where more parental and community involvement can take place.

They do not care if your child is behind. They’ll push them to the next grade level. They blame the parents. Or they will blame the child and make them cry just to finish their work. They do not cater to those on a 504 plan. They don’t want to deal with the parents who care about their child’s well...

I absolutely love Tate. The teachers are amazing and it shows in the students. Moving this year and the hardest decision has been moving away from Tate.

My kids have been here for 4 years now, and we absolutely love this school. The teachers and staff are kind, laid back, joyful, and my kids are happy to go to school everyday!
