When I first applied to the school, I was not too keen on attending. A lot of my friends from middle school were going to a different school that was also a lot closer to my home. I thought I was going to regret the decision of going here. However, I was totally wrong! The workload may not be easy but the teachers are very understanding and I am sure I learned more here than I would have been able to at any other high school. The (relatively) small class size that does not feel too small is perfect, especially within the positive environment that TAG is so proud of. I have grown unbelievably within the few years I have spent at this school and I am proud to say that this is the high school I attended.
Overall the school is really great, and most people enjoy it. There is a sense of competitiveness but if you find good friends they will help pull you forward and not push you back. The teachers are all super willing to help all the time, but as a student, it is your responsibility to talk to them if you have an issue. The principal is awesome, though he will soon be leaving, I think TAG will still be awesome after he leaves because he did bring several cool programs to the school. Very happy!
It was an amazing choice. I wouldn't send my future kids anywhere else! The school environment is like nowhere else, starting from the teachers and their dedication to their students.
