We just moved here and my kid has a lot of medical conditions. We are trying to get medical care established and they're missing a lot of school because of it. The school refuses to accept the school notes from the doctors, won't excuse their absences, won't help them catch up with missed work, and keeps giving them detention and ISS for missing school. The other kids are sexually harassing my kid during gym and pep rallies, and the school does nothing. Tried to get an education plan established before school started and it's now almost halfway through the school year with no progress.
My kid was an advanced placement student making straight A's and had never been in trouble before coming here and now they're being treated like a criminal and being failed in their classes because they're going through medical issues

Health academy, Veterinary science, Early childhood education, video game designing, Multimedia academy. Tate offers so much more than most high schools. Art, 3-D art, and photography. Tates a very large school and there is endless sports, clubs, and after school activites to do. It's the school for anybody.

Tate is one of the best high schools in the area. We are top in academies, not so much in football but otherwise its great! Teachers are helpful, staff is great, i love our principal and guidance counselors. You dont have to know a teacher or anyone to fit in or do great at this school. You just have to do something people dont do now a days because everything is handed to them: APPLY YOURSELF!

I am glad that other students have not had the problems that my child has at Tate. My child had only had problems last year and had NEVER had any problems with any teacher for the entire 10 years of school. We have taught our child very well and we do not blame others, but in SOME cases it just happens and some teachers should not be teaching at all. There are some good teachers at Tate, but there are bad ones as well.

My daughter LOVED taking Honors Biology and the teacher was just wonderful. She also enjoyed all of her other honors classes this school year. We also LOVE the Assistant PRINCIPAL and every reasonable request we've made to any Tate Administrator has been honored. We've taught our daughter to work hard and not blame others when she has difficulty.
