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.

Tays junior high would like you to think they are the best and brightest. That is not true. The administration only care about themselves and their ascent up the career ladder. If on their way up they happen to help a student it is by chance.
