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.

My experience at Tyler High School has had its ups and downs, but most of all I had the opportunity to meet some fantastic teachers who made me see high school life differently, i also met lots of new friends with whom I see my future. One of the worst things that happened to me was that I lost many people who I loved who I thought were my future. One thing for sure is that I will never forget Tyler High, I will always have all the good memories in my heart and the challenges will help me grow as I continue with my adult life

This is a school in crisis. It will require a much larger security presence to change anything.
