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.

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.

As a Tazewell High School alumni I would like to see improvement in the sports facilities. Tazewell is a lower income town and lacks in sports equipment, facilities, and equality. Most of the sports besides football do not receive much funding and this makes it hard to have athletes perform at their highest level.

My high school experience was great. I wish there were more resources available to help prepare for college. There were few electives available that I feel would have helped guide or prepare me for my college education.

Tazewell High school has been the best school I have been to. This is because it has allowed me to mature with the proper support and schooling. It continues to get better every day and all the faculty and staff are beyond amazing as well as the students. I will deeply miss my school whenever I graduate.
