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.

Most of the teachers in this school, during my time, have been outstanding. yes, there are times when the teachers get on people's nerves but that is normal. The big problem for me with this school is their lack of attention and lineage for mental health. The teachers are not very good when one of their students is gone for a day or two and being able to understand why. The school disregards any problem that students might have and puts it on the student's shoulders saying that it's their fault for being this problematic.

Tyrone area high school was a school full of a 50/50 ratio of teachers and faculty members that take sexual harassments and bulling seriously . leaving to a school of 'off-limits' sections if you don't want to be a victim . leaving to some very difficult learning so most of the students . some teachers having more pole than others . So it doesn't matter if you did good or not if they didn't like you . you weren't getting a good grade. Other teachers couldn't do anything. Suck it up buttercup and try being liked by the monster teachers if you wish to pass the class.

In 2019, Tyrone High's teachers placed 5th among over 500 non-charter high schools with a nearly perfect building score. A National Blue Ribbon winner f...
