I loved the overall atmosphere of the school, they are very involved with the community. Since the school is based in a small town, students are involved in volunteering outside of school.

I have attended Taylor since 6th grade and the only thing I can say is that its been a ride. I love that the schools are combined(middle and high) because it only prepares you for high school and you don't have to go through an extreme change. The campus is beautiful and very clean. Taylor is a school but what made Taylor are its students.

My experience hear has been really good but not perfect like for example math it has gotten really hard for me especially because I'm in 8th grade and in geometry but I have leaned that if I am more organized and dedicate my self to learn I can make it happen and finish that class with a good grade it took a lot of my moms yelling for me to open my eyes and see that everything I do hear will depend on my future this time but I owe a little of credit to my 2nd period teacher to tell me you have to try harder and I fell from that moment on I have tried more harder to pay attention and getting my grades up over all I fell like my teachers have seen how responsible I have gotten like my math teacher would be talking about homework and him thinking that I did not do it and me their having all that answers right It is that felling that keeps you going these are just some examples of my really good 8th grade year at Taylor

Ms. Tyus is a very patient and kind person. MsLamondie,s. Lavarriere and Ms. Henderson are effective special needs teachers. I pulled my daughter out of Volusia county public schools and put her in a special education school. She is thriving now which she was not before.

Tmhs is very overhated. The teachers are pretty good for a school in the middle of nowhere. The violence is not good but when you compare it to other schools (dhs) for example, Taylor looks good. Recommend school for sure.
