Coffee County Central High School

I am a past student who graduated in 2011, now in college. This school astounded me. That's not a good thing. The teachers, spare a few, were unbelievably poor at their jobs, leaving most of my education to personal examination, save Calc, CS, and AP English 3. Some teachers outright detracted from my learning, leaving me to throw away what they 'taught' me. Additionally, the staff appeared incapable of many basic tasks, forcing me to return to the office 4 to 5 times per WEEK to get any problems resolved. They often ignored anything I had to say about problems in the school as well. The building is terribly unsanitary and asbestos-riddled. But, the worst case was how the school chose to punish students. I was physically attacked in my Freshman year. Due to the fact that I defended myself, I was suspended. A 4.0 student who visibly outperformed other students and had a solid block of AP/Honors courses was suspended because another child attacked him. Is that really something children should be taught? Don't ever defend yourself? As a former student, I strongly advise any parents to find another school. Tullahoma can't be worse.

I don't really feel prepared for college whatsoever. The EOC tests prohibit a lot of learning and class time. Many of the teachers don't properly instruct. Several of the advanced placement and honors course teachers are brilliant, but there are many teachers who need to be further evaluated. I also find the administration of the school to be rather bad examples, except for a select few. The counselling department seems to be somewhat disorganized and difficult to achieve results from. As a sophomore, I find myself pretty much alone with my educational needs other than a few select teachers and a couple school administrators who are wonderful.

Our school strives to offer the students the opportunities they need to be successful. Not only does Coffee County High focus on academic leadership, but they also engage in community activities that draws all of our citizens together. Our school plays a leading role in our small community. Lastly, they have a Renaissance program that recognizes high-performing students, but they desperately need funds to keep this valuable program alive. GO RED RAIDERS!!!

I am currently a sophomore at Coffee County Central High School. I do not understand what everyone is complaining about. I am an honors student and make straight A grades. My grades are not given to me, I earn them. My classes are tough. I certainly cannot fly by them easily like everyone is saying. This school is not near as bad as everyone is saying. I would definately send my children to this school. There are a select few teachers who are 'just there for a paycheck' and some who only care about coaching a sport, but overall my teachers really seem to care. Most of the teachers and staff are very friendly. Overall, this school has more positive attributes than negative.
