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.

Horrible start this year. Kids with holes in schedules, some with no schedules. Abusive language and militant security in a school taking in more tax money from an overpriced real estate market and ridiculous bond package that passed last year. No care or regard for student performance outside of tests.

As a current student at Tompkins High school, I enjoy learning here. Our teachers encourage us to do our best and help us learn wonderful topics. Although the school work can be tough, it pushes us to become the best versions of ourselves. They have many class options to explore to prepare for future careers.
