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.

These past few years have been good here at Tulare Western but something I do want to see change is the food. We get pizza everyday which most people do not mind but a little switch every other day would be nice.

Best parts about my experience was the people there and also the teachers. I'm a very shy guy but many people there just make the vibe nice and easy for me to learn. The worst I had experienced was excessive school fights that happened more than four times every single year. Things could be changed if they make it more safer for the kids by adding more security to lessen the aggresiveness for the people attending that school
