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.

Tomales High School is, first and foremost, incredibly small. It has some wonderful teachers, and a great staff to student ratio, but struggles with the common pitfalls of such small schools (i.e. not many extracurriculars, internship opportunities, etc.). That being said, it has a pretty good sense of community and everyone knows everyone.

I love Tomales High School, its a very support and close nit school. It's very easy to find help, teachers always make it their main goal for their students to succeed. I went from having terrible grades to finishing my sophomore and junior year with straight A's. I can't stress enough the devotion they have to their students; its not something many schools can offer due to the vast amount of kids they deal with.

I would like to say that Tomales High School, or THS, is a great education establishment. In 2016, the graduating class was of 22 students in a school of 186 students together. This school focuses on Ag, FFA (or Future Farmers of America), and the relationship to students to make sure that the students pass.
