The school has almost no culture or student identity. It feels as if everyone is hopeless and is just waiting to escape.

This school is a hidden gem. Been to other schools in the area and TCHS has the best teachers in DFW area. Our daughter went from average grades to all A’s. Great academics, sports and fine arts. Highly recommend and in a great location. A lot of new construction additions being added.
