Tolleson is a school that can be described in one word: mediocre. The school has its advantages, such as the friendly staff and friendly teachers. Some important to note "issues" is the schools unwillingness to spend money. This school is not funded enough and we need new water fountains and better restrooms. Not to mention better classrooms. But overall, it's a decent school and the teachers and staff are what mainly make up it's good score.

Good looking school. New buildings built very Nice councilors. A variety of programs as well as a variety of electives. School lunch could use some work maybe. Besides that the school in my personal opinion is a 8/10.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunities I received during my first year at Tolleson Union High School. I hope that this year will be different in many ways. As always I will continue to strive for more not only as a student, but as a person.

The same teachers also make sure every student gets the help they need whether...

I am very disappointed in the education my daughter has recieved. I don't know if they pride themselves in having super seniors year after year. I know if she would attended a school on the east valley.

District is worried more about it's image to the public than their corrupted teachers.

My son went to Tolleson all four years and graduated last year (2012). I thought it was an outstanding school. The principal really cares about the students and the students respect him. The baseball program is outstanding and very competitive.
