Tara High School Reviews
Rating 3.27 out of 5 56 reviews
My four years at Tara High was a pretty ok experience. There are many extracurricular activities to participate in with the exception of wrestling and tennis. Most of the teachers are decent, but some need to be a little more knowledgeable at the subject so they can teach more better. My only problems are the students who are sometimes distracting to the learning environment. Everything else is ok.
I like that we are all treated equally. I like that there is a problem available for students to be able to take college courses while in high school. This helps us obtain an associates degree if we were to pass all of the college courses in the program. I would like the lunch to change because I just feel like it’s not that good for students.
I love tara high it is a school that give many opportunities but you are going to need a schedule and to keep you grades up. For example I want to be an Architect so I got to ctec and as have an school activity call Humanities Amped,to help me up my skills and leadership.
