I love it at Tokay, it's got it's issues but it is a great school. It's one of the most diverse schools in the area. People of all types attend and thrive at Tokay. Most teachers are good, and there are a lot of good people here.

Administrative Staff, Teachers and parents are wonderful in welcoming new transfer students to matriculate into the higher standard of academics and citizenship of respect for each other (the Tokay High Community) that we experienced. Communication to parents of upcoming events and resources available to students is a priority to the school administrators. I thank all the Staff and administrators who are so dedicated in their philosophy of empowering our children and their future of the limitless opportunities that await them. You just have to seek it out, it's all there. My child thrived at Tokay, and she is ready to take on the next chapter of her young life. College! She applied to 6, was accepted to all and had her pick. My second child will also follow to attend Tokay HS.

This school is very large and its the best school i've been to. The teachers and staff are all very nice and help you towards your dream.

It does have a very wide range of people and the students are supprisinly nice, but is a bit hard for new students to socailize and a little overwhelming because of the size of the school and student body.

This School is the best for any thing your child would want to do or accomplish. The teachers are great. It is a diverse school filled with many opportunities.

I am a 1985 Tokay graduate as well as the parent of a student who attended Tokay High School all four years and graduated in 2007. I believe that the Lodi Unified School District is one of the best school districts in the state and believe that Tokay High School offers the most 'real world' education within the District with its broad range in minority ratios. The school administration is excellent and the teachers are great. The attendance office staff could be a little less condescending when dealing with students and parents and would receive more respect if they in turn respected others. Top marks go to Tokay High School.

this school has some good qualities however the teachers don't prepare students properly for tests such as the AP tests.

This school was a very good school and its extracurricular activities were the best!

I am a junior at this school, and I feel that overall, things are pretty good. A few things could be changed here-and-there, but other than that, I'm glad I go here.

My daughter is a junior now and has been in the Lodi Unified district since kindergarten. I feel blessed with the teachers, school site administration and the levels of curriculum offered. Again, we are pleased with the extracuricular activities available. My experience as a parent volunteer is, it always seems to be the same group of parents who give of their time and financial means. I've been PTA president 3 times and held many other offices throughout the years. We've yet to come up with the perfect plan to get parents 'off the sidelines' and active with our efforts.

I would like to see an online system in place that would allow parents to review their student's progress on a continual basis, similiar to Lincoln High School's 'In-Touch' system. (Excellent system). It allows a parent to review attendance, progress, classes, disciplinary actions, etc. on a daily basis. Why is Tokay's overall performance rating only a 4 out of 10? What measures are in place to improve performance? What plans are in place to keep minority students enrolled at Tokay once the new high school opens, or will it become as segregated as Lodi High? What happened to the track and field team? Many students have quit the team because the coaching staff is either non-existent, concerned w/only a particular group, or coaching from inside a van, not to mention the conditions of the field? Where is the motivation for the athlete?

I am senior at Tokay, and I feel, that Tokay has taught me enough to succeed in the real world. I owe everything to the wonderful teachers we have on our campus, and the awsome administration.

I am a freshman at Tokay and overall it's a great school.However,Tokay lacks to represent the Gay/lesbian students.They don't have a GSA but they have other clubs such: as the key club,The science club, and the Salsa club.I think, along with many other students, that Tokay should get a GSA. Besides that issue,Tokay is an exellent school.The staff and students both.

I am a current freshman at Tokay High School and have only been attending Tokay for about 5months now and all I've heard is good and respectful about the school. It is zero tolerance, which is what it should be at the high school level. I want to give excellent comments to Mr. Chris Hoffman and Mrs. Dent

Thank You Mr.Lofsted for opening my eyes to a whole new light!
