Of my 6 children my 4th will graduate soon. Temple High School has provided positive growth opportunities for all of them in their variety of learning styles and outside activities. I like that it is large enough to have a large variety of classes and opportunities, but we are still part of a small community.

It's hard to describe why THS has earned such a bad reputation as a 'Ghetto School.' Aside from the diverse hallways, Temple high has some of the more outstanding academics that I have seen in my high school career with an outstanding IB/AP pool of teachers. The problem with this school lies not in the school itself but in the school board's restrictions. Not an excellent school because the mainstream classes are not the best.

this school is a really bad school. If i had a choice right now and transportation i would move to Belton High School. My parents are also unimpressed by the system of this high school. It would be a way better school if we had a better system and if the students were a little bit more diciplined.

The head principals are new and do not have a clue what they are doing. Both come from teacing IB classes and only care about the privileged in the community. Only the 9th grade principals seem to be in touch with the majority of the student body. Still, the principals do not enforce disciplinary actions the same and allow students to take the advantage of the situation. Moreover they do nothing to discourage repeat offenses. This leads to low teacher moral and a high teacher turn-over rate. Most teachers have alternative certification and are not well qualified for the classroom setting. However, they are helpful in leading a large number of extra-curricular activities.

This is my son's first year in public school -- up to this point he was homeschooled. I had my reservations about letting him attend Temple HS, but he desperately wanted to be on the swim team. Because of the swim team, I'm glad I let my son attend THS. The academic programs are not the quality I would have hoped for, but he has been learning something. There are some very bad teachers at the high school, but the administration will work with you, if they have to.

There are alot of programs offered at Temple High School but the teachers who implement them are not highly qualified. A majority of the programs are weak and do not challange all the students. A majority of the staff focus on material rather than on meeting the students' needs. A student who is self motivated will succeed. A student who needs some reassurance will most likey fall to the wayside.

The student body is large, my child had a hard time fitting in. Some of the teachers were oblivious to their sorroundings. Many of the teachers had an 'I don't care' attitude. Office personnel were rude. This school was not my choice for my child. My child felt that the teachers and staff lacked integrity, of which he was used to having in school. The other children in the school are rude.We are glad to be out of this school system. We made a permanent move to change this for my child.

The new principal at this school is horrible. He is not present and the teacher morale seems to be on an all time low. He does not seem to support discipline or the dress code set up by the school board. We are not pleased.
