This has to be the worst school I have ever put my child in!! They need to have monthly lessons on bullying! The children are rude and the principles dont care if the next kid is being shoved into the locker. I have been on the phone countless times with these people. The staff is rude, the children are bullies. I did months a months of research on special needs in schools before I moved here, its all a lie. They treat your child like they have a disease, and it makes them feel bad about themselves and there is no encouragement. My child begs me everyday not to take him to school, it breaks my heart. Worst school EVER!!!

This is our first year at Tannihill and I have to say it has been very smooth and the teachers and staff are very helpful. My daughter loves going to school and has made alot of friends. The homework isnt overbearing but still challenging enough to keep her thinking.

What a GREAT school!!! My daughter is a 5th grader at Tannahill and she loves it. The teachers, prinicpal, vice principals, nurse and other staff are all so caring. My daughter is new to this district as well and it has been a wonderful experience for the whole family! I feel the school and district on a whole care for my kids and not just scores (though they are very important) the kids aren't stressed about a test they have to take they are prepared!! Tannahill also offers several after school activies like drama club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, art club, chess club, running club and others i'm sure I have left out!

I believe in Tannahill Intermediate school and I really enjoy my daughter attending. She is a third generation white settlement attendee and she looks forward to attending Brewer high school. This district is a tight community where everybody knows everybody, all the kids are close and the teachers that I have encountered at Tannahill have all been top notch and extremely caring. Her experience there has been the best yet, she is an A B student and has a very close relationship with her teachers

Tannahill is an excellent school. It offers after school clubs like: science, math, art, UIL, intramurals and whiz quiz. The teachers strive for excellance and work together to ensure student achievment.

My son attended for one year and did pretty good. I was happy with the zero tolerance but unhappy with the behaviors of some of the students. Seems like the principal is doing the best he can.
