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.

Taylor Preparatory High School is full of wonderful teachers and staff that are willing to help students succeed. However, the school does lack the high school experience that I was looking forward to. The school doesn't have a football team, nor do they have a track field for the track team to practice on.

The best part of Taylor preparatory high school is you can meet really great helpful teachers. The worst part is administration makes unhelpful rules and make the lives of their students harder.

It was a pretty good school. I think that some of the rules are absolutely ridiculous. If you're gonna force kids to be in a place for 8 hours a day 5 days a week at least make it a place they sort of want to go to. There is no reason I should dread having to get up every morning. Also, school being that early is so infuriating. But the staff are amazing. I love most of them and will miss them so much when I graduate. And I do think that it's nice that the school has so many college preparation opportunities.

It felt like they didn’t even care about you they just throw a packet at your face and expect you to know it....

The school overall is horrible, to start off the dress code is horrible you can’t wear any hooded jackets, we live in Michigan in the freezing code and our kids can’t wear anything to be warm. Don’t even start on the food, the food is barely edible the mashed potatoes are rock solid, the chicken tas...

This school is not good for college readiness at all. There are very few AP classes or classes that aren't the bare minimum graduation requirements. Taylor High has engineering and cooking classes but here? nope. The work is not challenging and all feels like filler. Teachers come and go like nothin...
