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.

My experience in Terrell High school is fun and interesting. The teacher's and administrator's do an amazing job in making sure our school is safe, and that the students are well educated. The school's environment is different for everyone, but for me even though the school has a lot of students the environment is calm. Sometimes students get into arguments, and some fight. Kids will be kids, right? I would like to see change in the school building itself. The school is a bit small for so many kids.

I grew up in Terrell, always heard that the High School was a bad shady place, where bad stuff go on around. When I got there it's just like any other normal place, there is good and bad, but during my time I saw more good.

The are opportunities for kids to ready themselves for adult life at Terrell HS. I hope that kids are all getting the support...
