Taylor High School was a great school to me. The teachers always made sure that you were caught up in the class and had the tools necessary to grow. Along with the teachers there was always some form of hands on learning or a unique club

My son left Taylor for a semester and went to another school that was considered a "better" school. Needless, to say he return to Taylor after a semester. He reported that his teacher at Taylor were much more engaged with him as a student than the other school. Overall, academics and athletics were comparable but the relationships with the teacher were the deciding factor for his return.

My experience at Taylor high school has been amazing. I started going there for pre-school, and I am now a senior. I never wanted to leave because I wanted to stay connected with all of my friends who become connected to everyone since it's such a small school, and the teachers truly care not only about your education but they genuinely care about you too.
