Tracy High School

We are planning to move to Tracy and are considering Tracy high ib program as our first choice. I want to know about the academic environment. Are the students working very hard and have cut throat competition. Is it very stressful. How helpful are the teachers. Do they also have an AP program???please help me decide.

I am currently a senior at Tracy High and I can not even express in words how grateful I am to my teachers. The school is about to look great with all the new buildings and the teachers have helped prepare me for the world. The teachers genuinely care about me and all my peers and were always there to listen and help. This is a great school and I am so proud that I get to say that I am going to graduate from Tracy High School.

Tracy High is a great place to send your child academic wise. From the eyes of a freshman, to me, my classes don't seem overcrowded, disruptive, or under-academic. The AG-science and International Baccalaureate program are great and some of the teachers are the best in the state.I am taking Pre-IB classes, and let me tell you, at times this class can be very challenging. The Performing Arts Magnet has the best musicians as well as vocalists, and their reputation has set the bar high for other competitors. The facilities could be better, but when it is renovated and the New West Builiding is built, then THS will be the best place to send your child.

My son graduated in June. He had a good experience. Little support for students outside the IB program. Due to the growth in Tracy, lots of teacher changes...bad impact to students. The cosmetic issues are small issue compared to the dedication of 85% of the staff. Good families. City support of the school is great. Still a small town feel..great! But, need to catch up with Politics, Computer Science, Engineering....enriching summer programs, college visits..involving parents at 9th grade to support/create college path.

School has lots of programs to choose from but the facility is in terrible shape. No heat during winter and no air during summer.

Academic programs are excellent. The performing arts are great as well but their sports could be improved.

The academic curriculum is outstanding at this site, as well as the extra-curricular activites. Parent involvement could be better, but since this is a commuting city, most partents are not around to volunteer.
