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.

Tuscola is a proud community that likes to challenge everyone to do their best. They are not too keen on change, but they are competitive to be the best.

Could use some more funding towards more to do. Tuscola does have several clubs/organizations and sports, but they coulbenefit from more funding and maybe more options.

very bad school for people that were not born and raised in Tuscola for many generations...example if you kid wants to play a sport and they could be athletically better than the rest but if your parents didn't go to Tuscola and different kids parents are from Tuscola then they will get the spot......

All three of my children graduated from Tuscola. They are now successful. My oldest is a professor of mathmatics in Texas, my daughter is a special education teacher in Illinois and my youngest is a Marine serving in California. The proof is in the pudding!
