Temple City High School Reviews
Rating 3.78 out of 5 459 reviews
I’ll start off by saying that Temple City probably have some of the best teachers ever. They are so helpful in most cases and they are so incredibly nice. However, it’s not that good of a school anymore. First, the clubs are meh, most people only do extracurriculars for college. Second, ever since our school changed the faculty and board multiple times, it has not been doing well. A lot of the new teachers doesn’t really teach, which becomes a huge problem for AP classes. The course offerings here are also mediocre, there’s a lot of class our school just don’t offer.Our campus is so small, a lot of things are old, the wifi is so bad to the point classes are affected. Class scheduling is tricky, this year multiple people randomly got assigned to classes they didn’t sign up for, including me. So to conclude, this is a school that has previously been really good, but not so much anymore. If you’re considering coming here, my advice is DON’T COME HERE!!!!
Temple City High School has always been a fun place to be. The class environment is usually welcoming, and students are generally friendly. As an Asian-dominant school, the environment is competitive but inspiring because of student determination. Teachers are kind and willing to help students raise grades. The clubs are diverse and vary in different topics. With school-issued Chromebooks, students don't have an issue completing their work.
So far in my time at TCHS, I haven't personally experienced anything terrible. However, there have been some incidents throughout my first year. Many arguments had occurred between students and some fights had broken out. The school had to hire security guards for a short period to ensure the safety of students.
Temple City High School is a great school for students looking for a challenging and exciting environment in academics, sports, etc. Though there can be many improvements to the school, it's part of the top 20% of public schools.

Teachers are good, open campus! Mental health help is kinda meh unless you ask for help yourself. I wish we had more school spirit, fun spirit days, but it wasn't too bad. The technology is sometimes outdated (school-provided computers) and the wifi is pretty horrible. I've only had a few lame teachers, but many of them were kind, fun, and engaging. Our school events aren't the crazy fun parties I see at other schools, but I know the parents and ASB do their best to make them as fun as possible.
