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 school did prepare me for what was coming in college for the most part, but I did do most of my of my research for after high school by myself with not much help from my counselor. I did have other teachers that were willing to help me when I was having trouble finding some information. In my experience in high school is you are needing the help just ask and that teacher will go the extra mile to help you find out what you need to know.
