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 was only at THS for a short amount of time and it wasn't the easiest experience. My counselor helped me a lot to get through the year.

I was rate my experience at this cool at least a 8.5 out of 10. Also they focus a lot on Football & Basketball but not a lot on the other sports such as Cheer leading, and Volleyball.

There is a lack of disciplince in the school, some students are treated as if the leadership is afraid to address their bad behavior fearing the outcome will be the student being expell according to school policy.

Why are the students that made it to the Tennis State Championships not recognized on the schools sign but the football and basketball teams are?
