Lois & Jerry Tarkanian Middle School Reviews
Rating 3.69 out of 5 13 reviews
I went to Tarkanian for all 3 years and it is overall a pretty good school. 90% of the teachers are very helpful and kind. They're are some downfalls of the school climate though. People try to do things to "fit in". Your experience at this school honestly depends on who you surround yourself with. They're kids at this school that engage in drugs and others that have straight A's and who participate in clubs. The Accelerated courses here aren't too difficult and I would recommend them to students who are willing to put in the extra mile. Even when Covid hit, the school has still offered fun events, even though the students don't have much school spirit. This school has a very strict phone policy and dress code policy, but for a good reason and the hall monitors were sometimes unnecessarily rude to the students. In my time spent here, there was about 4 gun threats made by students, but the school took it very seriously each time. Overall, an amazing school.
My experience as a TMS student were well. I had a more flexible schedule back then and managed to take it easy and get the grades I wanted throughout my three years there. The teachers I had there were nice. They managed to help me in a way where I can understand what they teach me since I am a slow learner. The amount of spirit and love toward the school when I was there was very well shown, therefore, the school I am happy to review.
I am currently in my final year at tark and i really dislike this school. It feels like all of the administration is against me and i see kids getting bullied often. I have attended this school for three years and i have seen everything from sex in the bathrooms to an organized fight club which the news has covered. Teachers and administration wold rather tell kids to take their hood off than stop a kid from being bullied.
