The best parts about Tavares High School is the school spirit and the worst part about the school is probably the bathrooms they could use a little work. Some bathrooms don't lock.

Academically this school has a lot to offer, however be warned parents there is a group of truly bad students that are often involved or talking about doing unspeakable things as well as fighting. Make sure your children know how to pick friends and this school can be a blessing

I like the school very much, the only thing i see that needs to improve is have teachers after school be more supportive.
