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.

I would like more opportunities to be available for students. We just got a STEM class, which has no funding. There are some good teachers there but the bad outweighs the good. There were no opportunities for higher education apart from a few dual enrollment classes, some of which were taken away when I came to the school. The school did not help me with college help or for applying for scholarships.

My experience was great. My counselors always took me serious, and they always helped me when I needed it. The teachers are great, and the student to teacher ratio is a great part of TPHS!
