I received an excellent education and the teachers here are amazing. However, I feel as if the administrative staff don't do their part of tending to each student. It is very much a "favorites game." Tarkio High School has a very large bullying problem and the school does next to nothing about it.

It is one of the best schools that I have attended in my lifetime. There is no instance that a teacher wont help you or try to fix any problem that you may have. Nothing is to big or to small for Tarkio to take it seriously.

The administration is can be unfair on addressing the rules and what is expected of each student. Some students can wear or so as they please and other students walk a very fine line on what will be tolerated from them. So it is sometimes hard to know what you can and can't do at school.
