I have had an overall good experience at Tates Creek Highschool. There have been very few instances where I have felt unsafe or like this school was not for me. I have learned how to prepare myself for the future while also being able to involve myself in different activities and find new hobbies.

The IB Program is excellent as it follows international standards. The remaining classes are far too simplistic, boring, uninspired, aimed at the lowest level possible, etc.

The school wasn't necessarily a bad experience. It's hard for me to give the best review because 10th grade is when Covid started for me. Then not long after that I began a dual credit program so I did not return to the school again until graduation. However, during my time there the majority of my teachers were kind and helpful. The building wasn't in the best shape but they recently built the new one. So, that part of the review doesn't really stand as anything important to take note of anymore.
