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.

This school is a hidden gem. Been to other schools in the area and TCHS has the best teachers in DFW area. Our daughter went from average grades to all A’s. Great academics, sports and fine arts. Highly recommend and in a great location. A lot of new construction additions being added.
