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.

The best part about attending Tyler Legacy was the new school and new teachers. I enjoyed being surrounded my friends and my favorite teachers each year. Although there are teacher's I admire and love, there are some who made my experience less fun.

My experience at Tyler Legacy High school was alright. The work that we were provided was mostly lazy in some classes like U.S. History and Math but all the other classes were good. What I would like to see change is an increase in teachers actually providing us with valuable information in work that we can use after High school.

The pressure to excel academically and participate in multiple extracurricular activities can be overwhelming. The competitive environment can sometimes lead to high levels of stress among students. Expanding the curriculum to include more diverse subjects and electives that reflect a wider range of interests and career paths.

All three of my kids have attended here, and the two that have graduated were well prepared for college. My current student is challenged and loves it. There is strong communication between parents and staff, teachers, and administration. The leadership is excellent here.

We were lucky enough that my children had him as their Principal in middle school and now they get to have him for high school. My children are offered a wide variety of cl...

I had a child graduate from here in 2021, a current junior and a current freshman. We have been very impressed with the number of academic and extracurricular opportunities at Tyler Legacy.
