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.

The experience I had in Tartan highschool. The teachers were nice and willing to help struggling students. The worst parts were more the behavior of some of the students. I would like to see to more the hallways be more easier to move during the transition between classes.

Tartan is a very diverse school where kids can easily make friends, a downside is that some of the students are very rowdy and can clog the hallways when getting to class, the administrators and teachers always make sure that you have everything you need to pass the class. And when it's ACT season, they school will open practice rooms so that the students can have a better chance at getting a higher score.

the best part about tartan high school is that it has good academics and a lot of clubs and activities to participate in. The worst part is the food and sometimes safety.

This is my child's first year attending this school and let me say, I do not recommend it. While attending one of his football games I witnessed about three fist fights that happened between students in the crowd and other kids who were vaping and selling vapes right in the open. This was mentioned...

We have had a really great experience at Tartan High school. I have two kids that attend the school and while no school is perfect and without some issues, overall Tartan is a great school.
