GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have been here for four years and have made many friends throughout highschool. The school is very diverse, is great at sports, has many cultures, and is an overall safe environment for students and teachers. It has some of the best sports teams in the state, and is in a great county, Loudoun County. My experience at Tuscarora Highschool has had its ups and downs but I will cherish the memories I made here.

I loved all the sports and athletics at Tuscarora. It made me feel really involved in the school. I also was a big fan of the teachers there, I liked a lot of them and they seem really invested in our education. However, I do wish that the administration staff were more involved in the school as I still don't know the names of the main admin staff at our school.

I felt that the administration did not care for the students and would not take the time to talk to them about what they felt the issues in the school were. They would take drastic measure such as locking a majority of the bathrooms and not take into the consideration how to actually fix issues.
