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.

I did my best to spend the least amount of time possible in the building. Still there were teachers and staff who made my experience there amazing for the short amount of time I spent and showed up.

Tates Creek is a good school with and beautiful new facility. Teachers care about their students and, even with being a large school, there is a clear sense of community. The four years 8 spent at TCHS helped me developed empathy, understanding, fortitude and independence.
