Taft Union High School Reviews
Rating 3.89 out of 5 76 reviews
What I like about TUHS is that they have a good support system for students who need special help and they can focus on all students, they can help each student academically. We also do activities in which everyone can take part as long as they feel like doing it and I like to be able to participate and not like in other large schools where you can't take part either because they think you're not part of them and they see you different. One of my good experiences at school is that I can feel myself, I am part of clubs, sports and activities to help the community voluntarily. What would change would be that we could have more time to lunch jajaja. But I think it is an excellent High School. I have been through almost three high schools throughout my four years of high school and the one that seems the best to me is TUHS. It is one of the schools in which I am taking part in many things and I like that and I like it.
What I liked about Taft Union High School is the diverse classes that they offer, from the arts to foods to auto shop to FFA, there always seems to be something for everyone. Also, there are many staff members on campus who are always willing to lend a helping hand to its students. One thing I'd like to see changed is how much the school listens to the student body, specifically on those classes they are enrolled in. I think students should have a little more freedom in how they want their schedule to be.
What I like about my school Taft Union is that we have the best staff here. They are always so friendly and the most encouraging teachers I have met. Their always trying to make the school a better place and I appreciate that. If there was anything I could change about the school I would change the school spirit. I would love to see our school with kids dressing up on dress up days or showing up to the events. If I could go back to being a freshman I would've dressed up for it all and went to every school event.
