Some teachers are not the best and the safety of the school could be a lot better considering what has happened at the school in the teachers could be more involved and to help out with kids that were struggling and not pushed them aside

I've been at Taft High for all of my four years of high school. The campus is always very clean and maintained very well. The staff is extremely friendly to all of their students. Taft Union High School provides free after school tutoring for every student on campus. The food is made fresh daily by amazing kitchen staff. The board is always quick to provide anything that a club, class, or sport may need.

Taft Union High school can't be rated overall because of the diversity. Some teachers excel at grabbing our attention while teaching, on the other hand other teachers are very bad at teaching and lead to the students failing. There is a lot of room for the school to grow but that's if it allows itself to grow.
