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 made great friends while at TL, and most teachers m were supportive of students. There were times when I didn't feel supported, or felt overwhelmed and teachers didn't do anything about it.

TL is not bad. The new school buildings look good and have lots to offer students. The school looks a lot better than when I started. Just the pool needs to be fixed up now. I have had good classes, ok classes, and one really bad class. But mostly the teachers want to help you out. During the pandemic I though my teachers really tried hard and were understanding and helped me when I had questions.

Most of the teachers are very attentive and I have learned successfully in a lot of my classes. The campus has been rebuilt, so it looks very nice as well. However some of the teachers do not do their job correctly and I have felt that I am not learning what I should be learning or that I am not receiving opportunities to improve my skills and my grade. Overall it is a good school, and my learning has been nurtured here.
