7/27/2025
I enjoyed my dual credit and AP classes because they challenged me and connected me with peers. I did not like school culture or the bathrooms. Our school really needs to solve the vaping problem and not the supposed phone problem.
7/7/2025
The staff and students each put in work to allow success and create a learning environment for everyone involved. The many extracurricular options at the school allow for a wide range of learning and exploration of outside fields.

Taylor has a perfect balance between academics and clubs/arts. It has provided me with so many friends and communities that I know I wouldn't have found at other schools. I just wish the school provided me with more opportunities and clubs to learn from and more resources to prepare me for college. Other than that, however, I will be proud to tell others, once I graduate, that I graduated from the one and only James E Taylor High School.
