We started off the 2021-2022 school year at J.M. Tate High School with a brand-new administration. All of the rules were changed, and the school became stricter, this was a shock to all the students, especially the seniors like me. Tate has never been considered a "nice" school; it is one of the oldest in our district, if not the oldest. With that being said, there is much the administration could have and should have improved when they started working at Tate. The school's bathrooms are atrocious, and, in some buildings, you can see over the stalls. Instead of the administration focusing the budget on improving the bathrooms or something important, they spent the money on a fence that surrounds the buildings even though we already have one surrounding the school itself. They also bought around 100 televisions for every classroom when our teachers do not use TV's, rather they use their projectors they have always used. I believe this school is a good one but needs improvements.
The overall quality of life at this school was low. Hardly anything is new, the curriculum is absolutely awful! The teachers are the only good thing about this school!
J.M. Tate High School is a welcoming environment with an interactive and sometimes eccentric staff. Many teachers will serve as defining educators in your life—those teachers you think back on for being so awesome, kind, or supportive. Due to its geographic position (in Florida, nearing Alabama) you may be expecting a very country atmosphere. If so, you won't be disappointed. We've got heavy accents and pickup trucks to fit the stereotype. The campus is quite large with many buildings inside of it with many classrooms of them. More often than not, your classes will be relatively close to one another, but there are always those unlucky few that must walk for several minutes to the gym each day. As far as public schools go, the campus is pretty decent. Sure, some of the bathroom stall doors haven't been fixed in the four years I have been attending the school, but that's minor stuff (Hey, faculty! If you're reading this, step up your game).
