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.

Everything was amazing, teachers are knowledgeable and excited about the subjects they teach. Only have issues with the 8th grade math teacher which disqualified me from many opportunities.

Solid academic experience, the teachers are pretty good and there are nice students there. If you like small schools a tamarac should fit you. B- seems to be a pretty fair grade for what you get. The food could definitely be improved but same with every other school. The administration is alright and changes pretty often.

Many people are unprepared for college. The courses provide are just average and don't like students excel to their full capabilities. There are very few clubs and activities. Some of the guidance counselors make you take classes even if they aren't required to graduate and you don't want to take them. They make sure your schedule is completely full. We don't have many resources for research we have chrome books that are becoming outdated with almost everything blocked even certain dictionary sites.

Although Tamarac is a small school, it is a great school to send kids to.
