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.

I had a wonderful time during my 4 years at Tuscola High School. I was involved in many different clubs and sports. I had a very easy time getting along with other students, and teachers. The sports events were so much fun and there were many different parents involved to help things go smoothly. All in all I had a wonderful time at Tuscola High School.

This s hool does very little about bullying. Food is really bad, and the people are rude. We have pretty good staff, specifically the lunch ladies and the counselors. We have a ton of clubs and pep rallies...if you're into that.

My daughter is a senior at Tuscola High. She has always had a lot of help at home to develop into the kind of girl that God and her parents would be proud of. We never left it for the school to "raise" our child, but in conjunction with the school staff, fellow students and the parents of her friend...

Tuscola is a great school and it offers several academic classes that other schools in the county do not. It excells in diversity, test scores, and athletics. It is a the best high school in Haywood County and I would feel safe with my child attending there! It has such a warm and welcoming feeling...
