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.

I moved to Tomball ISD when I was only entering 5th grade. My family moved from New York to Texas. It was a big change for me but overall Tomball has showed me that teachers are dedicated to their student's academics. My mother has always been on top of my studies mostly because I was diagnosed with adhd. She always tried to get me the most help that I could get , asking for extra time for my exams for extra time for projects. And I'm very thankful Tomball was able to accommodate me with my needs. I had many teachers that would support me when I needed that extra push and I'm very thankful for that.

Tomball High School has a great school spirit and has many programs that can help a student outline what they want to do after high school. The only problem is that the school is old and has mold and the school district keeps on building new schools and facilities while not focusing on the schools they already have established. I wish they would at least take care of the mold because it is a health issue that affects people with weak immune systems.

Tomball is unfortunately plagued with the "good ole boy" mentality. The administrators cover each other's backs and they have unfair and dishonest practices. They show favoritism with different students, and awards and scholarships are based on popularity and favoritism other than who actually deser...

Teachers are always a hit or miss no matter where you go. Over all, this school has a weird combination of caring about education and scores. To where translation can easily get mixed up on what students should and should not care about. The best education used to be in world history classes. But, t...

Tomball High School provided to me exemplary curriculum during my time there. Even after I graduated in 2011, the school still amazes me.
