Rating 3.79 out of 5 142 reviews
I started enrolling in Tacoma School District after moving from Kent. It was strange to me at first because it's quite different to the school that I was at earlier. However, the teachers and the classmates were very helpful and friendly. They helped me a lot throughout my years at middle schools and high school. My middle school teachers at Stewart Middle School are very nice and will always be there to help. One thing I noticed about Tacoma School District is that it is pretty diverse. When I was in Kent, there was less than 10 Asians in my grade and only a few African American. Because of this, couldn't get the resource I needed when I went to school in Kent, but got those in Tacoma. On the other hand, I think because Kent school district have better funding, they have more resources offered at school and that the food was better. One thing I think Tacoma school district should add on to their website is a list of resources that student could easily access to them.
I love the Tacoma Public School District. The staff has always been so nice and the administration has always been open for comments or question. They always do what best for their staff and students and always try to have fun. They have always been done what's best for the community. The only negative thing I would have to say is the cancelation of the ballfields for Stadium Softball and Baseball players. They were in the progress of building fields and it got canceled due to outrageous complaints that were kinda ridiculous. They are trying their hardest but this process has gone on forever.
I've been enrolled in TPS schools since kindergarten, but I've been to a few different middle / elementary schools. Elementary & Middle school education is pretty standard but with some fights or disruption occasionally. I've only just started high school so I can't exactly rate it yet, but my high school is average I would say. Throughout the district there's a high level of athletes and resources for graduating. Along with other career and college readiness. The diversity in most schools is pretty high as well.
