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.

Tyee is a good school but the student don't know how to behave in it. And also the old school is being building again.

The best part about my experience at Tyee are the school's teachers and staff. They are respectful, kind, and they are very supportive. One of the worst experiences is how some students act but this is something that happens in every single school and we cannot change it.
