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.

Traverse City High School is a great place for kids to learn things they can take into college or in to the workplace. While this school is primarily for education, it is still a great place for learning and strengthening skills to use beyond high school.

There is a school liaison officer as well as other counselors available to help students going through hard times. The school janitors are very good and the school cafeteria offers lots of healthy options in a clean environment .

This school changed my life. It is one big family. I have learned so much about life that I don't think I would have been able to understand before TC High. The academics are great, the staff is great, and the students are great. I have absolutely no complaints
