Notice how the person who wrote something bad about Taylor has very good grammar and the people who said something good about the school did not. In my opinion I would much rather go to a different school. First of all the teachers gang up on you and gossip like they are the ones attending the school instead of the students. Teachers loose my tests and papers all the time so even when I try my best I still fail. There are a couple of teachers I do happen to like though. One is my favorite because she pushes me to try and actually makes the class challenging. She pushes me to be perfect but she is pushing me in the right direction. Alot of teachers will assign book work and that is what we call busy work. It's just work to keep the students busy, while the teachers do whatever it is they do. I'm Sorry for some of the teachers there who actually do their job and do it right, because thanks to the other teachers who could care less about the students, they give this school a bad rate. Thank you for reading.
As a former student, I couldn't wait to get out of there. It wasn't because I was "too lazy" or hated school. I personally loved school, I just hated that nothing was challenging enough. Taylor High focuses on their athletes only, so if you don't want to play a sport (not that the teams are great anyway) chances are you won't be challenged mentally. I had bad teachers, was assaulted by students, and got deducted letter grades for my religion and the faculty did nothing about it. There were some good teachers, but as a whole the bad teachers by far outweighed ones who cared and recognized students. With only a couple hundred students you'd think they'd remember at least some faces but only 2 teachers knew me when I showed up for graduation,I had been going there since 8th grade!
I really liked the school it had nice teacher with very academic students
The school is just all together a great school. It is small so there for the kids get a better education.
