terry is great. teachers help us understand and they work with us to make sure we understand and learn. terry highschool isnt just a school its a place where we can adapt socially and mentally. Terry gives those of us who dont think we are good enough a chance to be what we want to be. It doesnt matter if we want to be a doctor or a teacher Terry high school is the best place to succeed.

Terry High School is a great place for a student to grow mentally, academically and spiritually. I feel that this is one of the premiere schools in the state because of their superior leadership by their principal and the consistentl high moral of the teachers that execute the plans. This system is truely one that should implemented into other shools as they continue their strive for excellence.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Mississippi used the Subject Assessment Testing Program (SATP) to test students in English II, writing, algebra I, biology I and U.S. history at the completion of each course. Students must pass all parts of the SATP in order to graduate from high school. The SATP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Mississippi. The goal is for all students to pass the test.
