My experience at Taylor high school wasn't like others. I didn't take my first two years of high school as serious as I should have. I started wanting to take school to late than I wanted to. My junior year I made all A's, I've been working to change my attitude in school. But I wouldn't have done it so easily without my teachers at Taylor high school. The community at Taylor is very good and diverse.

Taylor High School is like most schools that could use improvement. Faculty veries from excellent to poor. Some care and some don't. They take student safety seriously and do their best to ensure students go to college or technical schools.
