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.

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.

Most of the teachers and administrators are great people but some of the policies are ignorant and a lot of the time the school is extremely dirty.

I liked how the teachers were passionate about teaching students. There should be more clubs and extracurricular activities offered.
