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.

My experience at Taylor high school wasn't like others. I didn't take my first two years of high school as serious as I should have. I started wanting to take school to late than I wanted to. My junior year I made all A's, I've been working to change my attitude in school. But I wouldn't have done it so easily without my teachers at Taylor high school. The community at Taylor is very good and diverse.
