8/9/2024
I had a good experience at tusky. The classes they have are really helpful in college readiness, especially the Dual enrollment and AP classes. I took a lot of DE and AP classes and they helped me get out of a lot of classes in college. They also have mandatory economics and personal finance classes which I think is great because I met a lot of people who said their school never taught them this important life skill. The school itself is okay but their academics and sports are stellar.
8/5/2024
The best parts of going to this school is their track and field program and their dedication to preparing us for post high school life with cool finance and college preparedness classes. Though the negative parts of this school is the poor teaching, with it being either be too easy to pass a class or too hard with no aid to better that classroom experience.

Tuscarora High School has a diverse student population however it lacks strong parental and community support.

Went here for 4 years. The staff does not care about its students at all and could care less. They just want to get them to the next grade level and push out to the streets. Better off going to another school in the county further away from the city.

Tuscarora has many opportunities for their students to excel. Majority of the teachers are very passionate and want their students to succeed. However, the one aspect of this school that could be improved is the progression of junior/senior preparation for college. Otherwise, Tuscarora is a great sc...
