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 Tarkanian Middle School was one of the best because I joined several clubs, started my own clubs, and was highly involved as Student Council President. I would choose this school again because it gave off a family and community feeling where every student could be accepted no matter what.
