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.

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.

I like that my high school is small in size and the classes have a low student to teacher ratio. Being small allows for everyone to know who everyone is. The staff is always there if you need help. The only thing I would change is for more students being more active in sports.

I had an amazing class compared to the relationships between students at other schools. There is a lot of complaining about the actions taken by the school board. The administrators have been a mixed bag.
