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.

Tea Area High School has lovely staff and teachers, however, it is a predominately white school. Some consequences because of that is racism is common daily, with nothing being done to put a stop to it.

The best experience that I had at school was my trips for our fine arts department. I would say that our school has a good academic program. I would say some things that can be improved upon is our school size, and the timing of everything in our school is not the best.
