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.

Facileties at school definetly need work. I also feel that we could use more funding for clubs and fieldtrips rather than the majority spent on sports. But there is also a lack of funding in it of its self.

As a former student of TCHS I feel I was cheated out of a good high school education. While it was sufficient to make it to the next level, I was never taught to work harder. I graduated with honors and never felt challenged seeing as all my classes were all aimed simply to pass our standardized exa...
