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 Tolland High School has been very pleasant. There are always people around to help if it is necessary. Most people are nice to everyone. Some of the staff members are not always that nice but only a few. I would like to see more engineering classes.

the teachers are wonderful, and majority of the students are mean. the lunch is good, but could be better. too much money put into sports and not enough put into everything else.

Tolland High School was a good school to prepare me for college. The science and math departments were strong and I felt I was given the resources to excel in these areas. As someone who didn't feel as prepared for college English, I felt that Tolland could have pushed me a little further in this area. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience in Tolland High School.

The Tolland public schools have been fantastic to my children. I have to say I have no experience with the special education department, where most of the criticism on here seems to be.
