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 enjoy THS' bca, and ibca programs. I also enjoy the schools customer service program, because they dont go easy on the students.It ensures after school readiness.

My High school isn't a place that someone would be urged with excitement to go to. It isn't a glorious, nearly over populated schoolhouse with happy, welcoming teachers and amazing lunch. But the things that I've learned here will impact my life forever. I can't go into extremely specific detail with only so many characters, but I can assure you that if you end up here, it'll be a real life changer for you just as it was for me. I'm proud to say that in the year of 2018, I will be a high school graduate from THE Tensas High School.
